| TJ- | tutolato: yes | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| tutolato | and after that, connecting the external usb? | 00:00 |
| TJ- | tutolato: and hope you don't have systemd journald stealing the kernel messages! | 00:00 |
| TJ- | tutolato: correct :) | 00:00 |
| tutolato | so i executed the tail command and then plugged in the external hdd, but in the terminal nothing changes | 00:02 |
| TJ- | tutolato: when you started the tail command... did you see about 10 lines of history displayed (which tells us kern.log is in use) ? | 00:02 |
| tutolato | Aug 17 ****** MateBook kernel: [ 126.xx] usb 1-1: | 00:03 |
| tutolato | yes | 00:03 |
| === ahmed is now known as Guest95193 | ||
| TJ- | tutolato: OK... that seems to confirm there's an issue with the USB side... you've not accidentally pulled the cable out so the connector isn't fully mating? | 00:03 |
| tutolato | ahaha | 00:04 |
| tutolato | oh yes | 00:04 |
| tutolato | ... | 00:04 |
| tutolato | :D | 00:04 |
| TJ- | What? was that it!?! | 00:04 |
| tutolato | yup :o | 00:04 |
| TJ- | Doh! | 00:04 |
| tutolato | :^) | 00:05 |
| tutolato | thanks xD | 00:05 |
| TJ- | I/m glad I always remember to return to "check the cables, stupid!" ") | 00:05 |
| tutolato | that would be to easy | 00:05 |
| TJ- | easy solution though... happy ending. better do some good file-system checks before using it again | 00:06 |
| tutolato | haha thanks, i learned a new way to troubleshoot with tail | 00:06 |
| tutolato | bye :) | 00:07 |
| sreggingnikcuf | are black people allowed to use Ubuntu? | 00:08 |
| HadesWatch3r | I have installed Ubuntu 14.04.03... used LVM on a single hdd... I have 2 others... I want to add them to lvm ... I have formatted them with the disk utility as luks compatible ... how do I tell Luks to use them and that space now? | 00:10 |
| TJ- | HadesWatch3r: you seem to be mixing up your terms. LUKS and LVM are different things entirely | 00:11 |
| not2but1 | sreggingnikcuf - good question. | 00:11 |
| === arj is now known as Guest56696 | ||
| HadesWatch3r | TJ- no doubt.. | 00:12 |
| HadesWatch3r | I have used lvm to encrypt the first drive during install.. I want to add the other two to that space volume now.. | 00:12 |
| TJ- | HadesWatch3r: LUKS is encryption; LVM is volume management | 00:12 |
| HadesWatch3r | TJ- Yes, right. | 00:12 |
| TJ- | HadesWatch3r: so, you cannot use LVM to encrypt a drive | 00:13 |
| HadesWatch3r | TJ- ok. | 00:13 |
| HadesWatch3r | How can I add my other two drives to LVM. | 00:14 |
| TJ- | HadesWatch3r: if you're using LUKS encryption, you'd use the "cryptsetup" tool to format/open it | 00:14 |
| HadesWatch3r | TJ- Appreciate your replies. I have used the Disks utility in Ubuntu to format/encrypt the other two drives... (at least that is what I believe I have done.) | 00:15 |
| TJ- | HadesWatch3r: if you have several LVM physical devices (PVs) you can add the PVs to an existing Volume Group (VG) using "vgextend" see "man vgextend" - something like "sudo vgextend VG /dev/PV1 /dev/PV2" (where PV1/2 are something like /dev/sdc or other block device) | 00:16 |
| HadesWatch3r | TJ- Will do, thansk. | 00:16 |
| HadesWatch3r | thanks. | 00:16 |
| TJ- | HadesWatch3r: maybe that tool combines the operations - I generally work with the command-line tools rather than GUI for such things, so I'm not sure what that tool is capable of | 00:17 |
| ElevyNJ | Hello. I have a laptop with a cracked screen. Ubuntu is installed. How do I redirect the display to a monitor I have attached to it? | 00:18 |
| TJ- | ElevyNJ: can you ssh into it from another PC? | 00:19 |
| TJ- | ElevyNJ: alternatively, can you read the screen well enough to execute a command at a shell command line ? | 00:20 |
| ElevyNJ | TJ-, Yes I can see the right side of the screen | 00:20 |
| TJ- | ElevyNJ: if you can get a terminal in that area, and first run "xrandr" it'll list the video outputs available. Then you can use something like "xrandr --output <name> --auto" to enable it | 00:21 |
| ElevyNJ | TJ-, I did xrandr --output VGA1 --auto and nothing happened. How can I redirect the xtandr output to pastebin for help here? | 00:24 |
| TJ- | ElevyNJ: "pastebinit <( xrandr )" | 00:25 |
| ScottSteiner | how can i list the displays on my system? (:0, :1, etc) I need it for ffmpeg. Thanks | 00:26 |
| ElevyNJ | TJ-, http://pate.ubuntu.com/12103786/ is the output | 00:27 |
| ElevyNJ | I mean http://paste.ubuntu.com/12103786/ | 00:28 |
| TJ- | ElevyNJ: according to that VGA1 is connected to the left or right of the laptop screen | 00:28 |
| TJ- | ElevyNJ: to the right actually | 00:29 |
| ElevyNJ | TJ-, Physically the screen is to the right of the laptop. The VGA connector is on the left side and is in no signal mode | 00:30 |
| ElevyNJ | TJ-, but It seems I can drag items off the right side of the screen never to be seen again | 00:30 |
| TJ- | ElevyNJ: as far as the X server is concerned the VGA1 monitor is to the right of the laptop screen. If the monitor isn't displaying anything then there's a cabling issue | 00:30 |
| TJ- | ElevyNJ: the VGA1 resolution of 1440x900 is rather strange, depending on what kind of monitor it is of course. | 00:31 |
| dvela | I'm having an issue disabling a monitor in LightDM. I've tried editing "display-setup-script=xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --primary" in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, but it's done nothing for me. The monitor is automatically disabled when I log in. I'm using xfce4. | 00:32 |
| ElevyNJ | TJ-, It's an Acer AL1617W | 00:32 |
| ElevyNJ | TJ-, It should be 1280 X 1024 | 00:33 |
| TJ- | ElevyNJ: it looks like the monitor isn't talking to the PC then, if you don't even see a "resolution out of range" message on it | 00:36 |
| ElevyNJ | TJ-, any suggestions? | 00:36 |
| TJ- | ElevyNJ: try the monitor on another PC to try to prove it works, first... if it does see what modes it reports to that PC, see if it makes sense based on what you've seen for this PC | 00:37 |
| ElevyNJ | TJ-, I'll be back then | 00:40 |

| OerHeks | Yuken, you heard wrong. Ubuntu has no rootpassword, thats all. | 01:12 |

| wylem | I just installed MATE 15.04, updated, and tried to install synaptic. When I attempt to create a shortcut in the "applications" menu, the shortcut does nothing. | 01:15 |
| ScottSteiner | While trying to record the screen from within a vnc connection using ffmpeg, I keep getting a black screen. What could be causing this? | 01:15 |
| wylem | I set my path to /usr/share/applications/ but still nothing. | 01:16 |
| wylem | The only way I'm able to run it is by opening a terminal window, and leaving it open. | 01:16 |
| wylem | What am I doing wrong? | 01:16 |

| Sorch | odd | 01:44 |
| TJ- | matt_: wrong mode(s) being chosen? have you looked in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 01:44 |
| matt__ | how do i do that? | 01:45 |
| matt__ | im kind of a noob :/ | 01:45 |
| matt__ | hence using ubuntu | 01:45 |
| matt__ | I didnt realize there would be a problem adding one more monitor via hdmi | 01:45 |
| TJ- | matt_: open a terminal, type "less /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and press G to jump to the end of the file, then work your way back up looking for messages about new monitors being connected... or just pastebin the entire file for us to read "pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 01:47 |
| TJ- | matt_: usually there isn't - you're almost unique :) | 01:48 |
| matt__ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/12104702/ | 01:49 |

| matt__ | here is my pastebin TJ | 01:55 |
| matt__ | yeah | 01:56 |
| matt__ | i just used the nvidia proprietary driver | 01:56 |

| Jake | is there a way to use iptunnel with a domain name on the remote side? | 01:57 |

| ElevyNJ | TJ-, Question, I have an external drive attached how do I find the point point so I can make folders for Plex? | 01:59 |
| TJ- | matt_: starting at the top of the file, if you search for "(EE)" those lines are errors, and give some indication there's a conflict between intel and nvidia. You should ensure you have the nvidia-prime packages installed too | 01:59 |
| matt__ | okay | 01:59 |
| TJ- | ElevyNJ: find the what? | 01:59 |
| matt__ | so just sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime? | 01:59 |
| Jake | ElevyNJ: if my memory serves me correctly it is mounted in /media | 01:59 |
| TJ- | matt_: it may already be installed. Check with "apt-cache policy nvidia-prime" | 01:59 |
| matt__ | TJ: I have nvidia-prime installed already | 02:00 |
| ElevyNJ | TJ-, Mount point so I know the path to the drive | 02:00 |

| TJ- | ElevyNJ: Oh... well it depends if the device has been mounted by udisks... if so it'll be under /media/$USER/ | 02:01 |
| TJ- | ElevyNJ: "mount" will show current mounts | 02:01 |
| TJ- | matt_: then there's some issue with the interaction according to that log. I'm not a fan of Optimus, we see far too many problems with it | 02:02 |
| ariscop | so i've uploaded a source package via dput to my ppa, is there some sort of notification that it's worked? | 02:02 |

| TJ- | ariscop: usually only get an email notification if there is a problem | 02:03 |
| Jake | chmod 655 | 02:03 |
| TJ- | ariscop: best thing is to simply look at your PPA listing... after a few minutes it should show the package waiting to be built | 02:04 |
| matt__ | hmmm | 02:04 |
| ariscop | TJ-, ah, so it can take a few minutes | 02:04 |
| matt__ | so are there any options available to me? | 02:04 |
| TJ- | ariscop: yes, it depends on the buildd load | 02:04 |
| matt__ | is it a problem with Gnome or is it solely my video card? | 02:04 |
| TJ- | matt_: the whole GPU switching area is a mess. there are 2 distinct forms, and they are very different. (MUX and MUX-less) | 02:05 |
| TJ- | matt_: that log-file suggests a config problem of some sort since the GPUs don't seem to be cooperating as they should | 02:06 |
| matt__ | is there a way I can just deactivate the intel video card so it only uses the nvidia? | 02:06 |
| ariscop | matt__, for most modern nvidia cards, bumblebee should work | 02:06 |
| ariscop | not in the mux-less setup | 02:06 |
| TJ- | matt_: possibly; in the PC's firmware setup | 02:06 |
| matt__ | ariscop: okay, how would you recommend I install it so that everything goes smoothly? | 02:06 |
| ElevyNJ | Is there a way to overide the laptop going into sleep/suspend mode when the screen is closed? | 02:07 |
| ariscop | matt__, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee | 02:07 |
| TJ- | matt_: that log suggests that PC might well be MUX-less - there's no indication that the nvidia GPU sees any outputs | 02:07 |
| matt__ | ariscop: any advice about using it? is there anything i need to set up beyond this? | 02:08 |
| matt__ | TJ: I don't know what MUX means...but I thought I installed the driver alright :/ | 02:08 |
| TJ- | matt_: Multipleser | 02:09 |
| TJ- | matt_: Multiplexer | 02:09 |
| n_blownapart | hello could anyone walk me through an update: from bodhiLinux 2.3.0 to 3.1.0 . ? Apparently my /etc/apt/source.list config file doesn't have current repos. I have know clue...noob. thanks! | 02:09 |
| ariscop | matt__, once installed, to run something on the dedicated card you need to prefix it with 'optirun' | 02:09 |
| matt__ | TJ: do you agree with ariscop that bumblebee is a good idea? | 02:09 |
| TJ- | matt_: Installing the packages should be sufficient, but the driver has to write a custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf for most Optimus cases... it is possible that has something wrong in it | 02:09 |
| TJ- | matt_: I don't know, I won't use Optimus myself. I thought I heard mention that Bumblebee was deprecated in favour of nvidia-prime - but not 100% sure | 02:10 |
| wylem | Holy shit this is frustrating. | 02:10 |
| ariscop | TJ-, bumblebee comes with its own xorg confs in /etc/bumblebee | 02:10 |
| TJ- | ariscop: right, but currently the broken system has an nvidia-generated xorg.conf... which may be all that needs tweaking to fix the issue | 02:11 |
| ariscop | Oh | 02:11 |
| n_blownapart | Oh TJ- *there* you are... :) | 02:11 |
| TJ- | ariscop: "|-->Screen "nvidia" (0) " | 02:11 |
| ariscop | surely wiping xorg.conf would work? i'm not sure what version he's on | 02:12 |
| TJ- | ariscop: the log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12104702/ | 02:12 |
| ariscop | yeah, wiping xorg.conf should 'just work', newer xorg autodetects everything | 02:12 |
| wylem | To clarify again: I just installed MATE 15.04. I then updated and installed synaptic. I went to add a shortcut for synaptic in the "applications" menu, and it did nothing. I installed alacarte, and it wouldn't allow me to create a shortcut. Can anyone please help me out? | 02:12 |
| TJ- | ariscop: I thought one was needed for optimus MUX-less? | 02:13 |
| TJ- | matt_: can you "pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 02:13 |
| ariscop | TJ-, shouldn't be, i've been on two optimus machines and neither had issues | 02:13 |

| limbera | how do i permanently set environment variables without defining them in my bashrc | 02:24 |
| TJ- | it's not the monitors that are the issue... the intel is even trying to switch both outputs to 1920x1080, that shows in the logs. I would check if there is any firmware setup options that might be causing the problem... some firmwares have options for controlling use of the hybrid GPUs. | 02:24 |

| wylem | Anyone? | 02:27 |

| TJ- | matt_: log out and back in again, that'll restart the X server with the new config... test it... and check the new Xorg.0.log that generates in case it has different reports | 02:29 |
| ElevyNJ | TJ-, thanks. last quesion for the night. i turned on desktop sharing.How do I view it from a windows 10 box? | 02:30 |
| spearson | what location do I save the file to? | 02:30 |
| TJ- | wylem: you can create a freedesktop .desktop file for it, in $HOME/local/share/applications/ | 02:30 |
| wylem | Thanks, TJ. | 02:31 |
| spearson | does it go in HD > usr > lib > X11? | 02:32 |
| TJ- | ElevyNJ: I think I'll let you figure that out :D | 02:32 |

| yukki | Hallooo. | 02:40 |
| Pinkamena_D | Looking to run a script to switch from one gpu to another. It seems that I will need to modify xorg somehow, automatic would be preferred. Any ideas where I can start? | 02:43 |
| Bashing-om | Pinkamena_D: Depends on the GPU sets . | 02:48 |
| Pinkamena_D | It is not the hybridgraphics, as this is the only situation I can seem to find support for at all. | 02:48 |
| Pinkamena_D | I have two situations that I care about: 1) intel laptop gpu to external pcie gpu. 2) desktop gpu to another desktop gpu (pcie) | 02:49 |

| mfantastic37 | this is kind of unrelated to ubuntu. But i have a need for windows (software) and i have been running win7 in vitual box. Its slow and painful. will my older PC with a core 2 quad q9400 benifit from installing an ssd? | 02:52 |
| tgm4883 | there isn't a hello factoid | 02:52 |
| Bashing-om | Pinkamena_D: Not a lot of direct help, but I have seen the means to do do so on this mega thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1743535&highlight=i915&page=86 ; using the xorg.conf files to switch . | 02:52 |

| aeden__D | crap lol | 02:53 |
| mfantastic37 | trying to speed up and make more stable my vitualbox win7 | 02:54 |
| Pinkamena_D | yeah, ssd helps older spec computers too. | 02:54 |
| aeden__D | tgm4883, hi <deleted><reply> Hi! Welcome to $chan! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.…Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 02:55 |
| mfantastic37 | ubuntu runs just fine except when virtual box and win7 is hogging its resources | 02:55 |
| tgm4883 | mfantastic37: RAM? | 02:55 |
| mfantastic37 | 8gb | 02:55 |
| tgm4883 | how much did you give the VM? | 02:55 |
| mfantastic37 | i believe 4gb | 02:55 |
| tgm4883 | I think an SSD would definitely help | 02:56 |
| mfantastic37 | i already ordered it | 02:56 |
| Pinkamena_D | Bashing-om, so I guess here is the large conceptual question about this: Can I switch cards without loosing all of my opened programs, or does a larger project have to make major changes for this? | 02:56 |
| mfantastic37 | was just hoping its not a waste | 02:56 |
| tgm4883 | mfantastic37: oh, well you won't be dissappointed by it :) | 02:57 |
| daftykins | mfantastic37: my old Q6600 loves the SSDs in it :) | 02:57 |
| mfantastic37 | ohh i gave virtualbox win7 3gb of ram | 02:58 |
| mfantastic37 | i ordered the samsung ssd | 02:58 |
| Pinkamena_D | For example, I have tried and failed so far to modify xorg files to switch, but I guess this is my fault, but even if I was successful, I would have to do a lightdm restart to see the changes, in which case I might as well just restart the whole machine, which detracts from the usefulness. | 02:58 |
| mfantastic37 | awesome.. how do i adress someone in irc.. like @daftykins | 02:59 |
| Bashing-om | Pinkamena_D: My thought is that you would have to close all down in the cuurent config, and restart all new in the new config . | 02:59 |
| daftykins | not the twitter / facebook way that's for sure | 02:59 |
| daftykins | just nick at the start of the sentence :P | 02:59 |
| mfantastic37 | im not ready to move on to an i7 just yet my q9400 is no slouch | 03:00 |
| Pinkamena_D | So this is just kind of a limitation in the entire X architecture at this point? | 03:00 |
| mfantastic37 | nick? like literally type nick? | 03:01 |
| daftykins | yeah i'm holding out for when an upgrade would be justified too - probably not for a while given skylake wasn't so great and kaby lake is a stop-gap since intel can't shrink their process nodes anymore :< | 03:01 |
| daftykins | no nicknames. | 03:01 |
| daftykins | !who | 03:01 |
| ubottu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 03:01 |
| daftykins | Pinkamena_D: yep you're just a niche customer. you could however script up a lightdm stop, file swap, then start perhaps | 03:02 |
| daftykins | Pinkamena_D: or i bet you can do something with /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ files but no idea what. | 03:02 |
| mfantastic37 | got it daftykins | 03:03 |
| Bashing-om | Pinkamena_D: I am not that in-depth familiar with the X layer . But I am not aware of a on-the-fly method to switch graphics sets . | 03:03 |
| mfantastic37 | did it help with stability daftykins ? | 03:03 |
| daftykins | mfantastic37: SSD and stability? not sure what you mean there, if your system isn't stable in terms of CPU load, RAM load or whatever then disk won't change much | 03:05 |
| mfantastic37 | well sometimes. when switching user accounts it freezes or the password entry box dissappears and requires a reboot. thats not why im purchasing an ssd though. daftykins | 03:07 |
| snowkidind | I just installed trusty with an SSD and i notice a significant decrease in response times | 03:08 |
| snowkidind | before with a mechanical HD some commands would just churn the HDD into forever | 03:08 |
| daftykins | ah, i don't run Linux on that machine anywho | 03:09 |
| mfantastic37 | oic | 03:09 |
| mfantastic37 | well im going to bed. goodnight everyone. | 03:10 |
| daftykins | o/ | 03:10 |
| TJ- | Pinkamena_D: what you want isn't available. It would require such things as transferring OpenGL textures and other primitives, object handles, from one GPU and its dedicated memory, to another. | 03:14 |
| Pinkamena_D | I am not much of a low level programmer, so I can not speak with knowledge about this topic. However from a hardware/performance standpoint it should be doable, as certain _other_ operatins systems do it with ease. | 03:17 |
| TJ- | Pinkamena_D: there is very little demand for what you describe; it is an extreme niche | 03:18 |
| Pinkamena_D | Accepting that I do need to lose the programs for a switch, though, my biggest hurdle is correctly modifying xorg. I have tried creating a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, adding some reasonable looking entries, and restarting the service, but usually I guess wrong (lol) and I just get a black desktop. | 03:18 |
| Pinkamena_D | Would there be something to either 1) generate some xorg entried based on current hardware or 2) "test" the new config, and revert after 10 seconds or something if it does not work? | 03:19 |
| TJ- | Pinkamena_D: don't modify xorg.conf. Keep 2 spearate config files and switch between them. | 03:19 |
| daftykins | Pinkamena_D: honestly i already suggested something :| | 03:20 |
| Pinkamena_D | You said I could do 'something' with the files but 'no idea what', unless I missed another comment that oyu made. | 03:21 |
| daftykins | < daftykins> Pinkamena_D: yep you're just a niche customer. you could however script up a lightdm stop, file swap, then start perhaps | 03:22 |
| Pinkamena_D | Also TJ-, switching may seen niche, but a fair amount of people may like to have three monitors but each video card only has two outputs. This is still not extremely common but I know a few people with this setup. | 03:22 |
| TJ- | Pinkamena_D: another option is to run each GPU as a separate X screens and use something like xpra + shifter | 03:22 |
| daftykins | Pinkamena_D: why would anyone need to switch anything in that setup? | 03:23 |
| TJ- | Pinkamena_D: I have 3 GPUs and 6 monitors with 4 X sessions on my laptop, and never wanted to move between the X screens. I prefer the session separation | 03:23 |
| daftykins | 3 on a laptop o0 | 03:24 |
| Pinkamena_D | Ok, so to clarify the 'switching' I am not looking for power saving or anything. If I can just leave the intel gpu on and do everything I need on the other gpu without 'turning it off', that is fine. | 03:25 |
| daftykins | heh, pretty sure nobody considered that to be a problem | 03:25 |
| daftykins | it's the general task itself | 03:25 |
| Pinkamena_D | So I guess I am a little more confused here than when I started about what is and is not possible. | 03:27 |
| TJ- | daftykins: yeah: http://i.imgur.com/eUrjfxk.jpg | 03:28 |
| Pinkamena_D | Is there an algorithm that ubuntu goes through to make the xorg file when the system is set up, that I could modify to generate a new one for another device? | 03:28 |
| daftykins | now that's a man cave :) | 03:29 |
| TJ- | Pinkamena_D: each time the Z server (xorg) is started it is told a config file to read. You could have several xorg.conf files and have the display manager select the appropriate file when (re)starting the X server | 03:29 |
| TJ- | daftykins: I have a Quadro NVS420 (2 GPUs - 4 heads) in an external PCIe ViDock connected via ExpressCard | 03:30 |
| === OS-17344 is now known as nullsign | ||
| Pinkamena_D | TJ, that is similar to the setup I would like to obtain, I also use the egpu dock. Have you documented your efforts anywhere? | 03:32 |
| TJ- | Pinkamena_D: I occasionally share the xorg.conf: https://iam.tj/projects/misc/xorg.XPS-NVS420-6monitor.conf | 03:33 |
| Pinkamena_D | So you have this 'nvidia-settings' (it seems) which is like a frontend for editing xorg.conf? | 03:34 |
| TJ- | Pinkamena_D: that's a leftover. I hand-crafted the xorg.conf | 03:35 |
| TJ- | Pinkamena_D: but the nvidia drivers have a supporting config tool in the nvidia-settings package, which is both a command-line and GUI application | 03:36 |
| Pinkamena_D | It just seems like quite a lot of imformation to have to manually compile to prepare a few monitors. Perhaps if no one else has ever proposed working on it I can learn this and make a config tool. | 03:37 |
| daftykins | you could just contribute your time to X's replacement | 03:38 |
| TJ- | It depends on what is required. the X server has automatic configuration for simple configs but for complex configs it needs to be told | 03:38 |
| Pinkamena_D | Because it is rare to see someone else with the egpu setup, I just want to ask how you manage with it. Are you able to revert settings correctly when you undock? | 03:38 |
| daftykins | help steer it to be what we want it to become | 03:38 |
| SuperLag | Are there any apps/packages that will do an automated disk usage report? or do you have to use some third-party thing like Nagios for that? | 03:38 |
| daftykins | SuperLag: disk usage? like 'df -h' you mean? | 03:39 |
| TJ- | Pinkamena_D: when I need to go mobile the X server had to be stopped and the current xorg.conf gets moved out the way, and put back again when I return to the workbench | 03:39 |
| Pinkamena_D | daftykins, replacement? Has anything been proposed for this? I have never hears of it. | 03:40 |
| daftykins | Wayland isn't it? | 03:40 |
| daftykins | hmm you might want to do some research then | 03:40 |
| wafflejock1 | SuperLag: you should have disk usage if you search in the dash | 03:41 |
| wafflejock1 | SuperLag: pretty sure it's installed by default | 03:41 |
| Pinkamena_D | Ok, final question about this before I leave you alone: For the example xorg.conf entries above, where could I place then in ubuntu? I have by default no /etc/X11/xorg.conf. The only related entried are broken up into a bunch of files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 03:46 |
| Pinkamena_D | (sorry about replacing s with d so much) | 03:46 |
| daftykins | there's no xorg.conf as default because everything is auto detect | 03:46 |
| daftykins | when you make one, it has always historically gone in /etc/X11/ yes | 03:46 |
| Pinkamena_D | but will that overwrite everything in the other files, or extend it? How can I only change the monitors, not all of the other inputs and such, without breaking everything? | 03:47 |
| Pinkamena_D | From what I could find there are not even any "screen" entries in the /usr/share location? | 03:48 |
| daftykins | yeah you need to do some reading, honestly i'm amazed that you've been discussing this topic without even having touched on any of these 'beginner X config' topics | 03:48 |
| SuperLag | daftykins: wafflejock1: I want to report space hogs. People whose ~ is taking up the drive. | 03:49 |
| Pinkamena_D | Well, when I wanted to add monitors, I did not instantly expect a large amount of research would be needed, but I stand corrected. Do you have a link you feel conveys recent and accurate information that I should invest time into reading? | 03:50 |
| SuperLag | daftykins: wafflejock1: We have some users who forget about the leftover data their jobs generate, and it fills up the drive | 03:50 |
| daftykins | Pinkamena_D: no | 03:51 |
| SuperLag | Pinkamena_D: I haven't followed since the beginning of the convo | 03:51 |
| SuperLag | Pinkamena_D: I'd look into arandr | 03:51 |
| SuperLag | it's very useful for configuring displays, especially multiple | 03:51 |
| daftykins | SuperLag: hmm seems like an after the fact thing that, quotas could've been handy maybe :> | 03:51 |
| Pinkamena_D | Bashing-om ; daftykins ; TJ , I appreciate your time in trying to help me understand this issue, and what I should expect to be possible. | 03:55 |
| Pinkamena_D | SuperLag, I am not sure it arandr will work any better than the built-on ubuntu ool for configuring multiple gpus. | 03:56 |
| Pinkamena_D | But I appreciate the suggestion anyway. | 03:56 |
| drkjstr | SuperLag: have you tried: sudo du -h -d 1 /home | 03:56 |

| keviv | 14.04 laptop eth0 has stopped working last few days. wlan seems to work just fine, but under "Ethernet network" in the network manager it says "device not managed". http://paste.pound-python.org/show/tDfRgl7xi1vjAo0K3k8h/ | 04:39 |
| keviv | Also, I have no idea what the eth0:avahi interface is, that's new. It's appeared only today | 04:39 |
| zykotick9 | keviv: fyi, "Device not managed" means it's setup in /etc/network/interfaces so N-M can use it... | 04:42 |
| keviv | zykotick9: and how should that be set up? | 04:43 |
| keviv | Also I guess I should say that the link led is on and the packet activity led blinks a few Hz | 04:44 |
| zykotick9 | keviv: i'd suggest commenting out the lines involving eth0 in your interfaces file | 04:46 |
| keviv | zykotick9: I kinda added those in response to this problem lol, I think that's what made N-M say what it does now, but it still wasn't working before this | 04:47 |

| somsip | Jamie_1: does that oath exist on the paste? ../../vendors or whatever? | 05:36 |
| Jamie_1 | somsip: are you asking if those files its looking for exist? | 05:37 |
| somsip | Jamie_1: no - path (typo of oath) | 05:37 |
| diegoaguilar | Hello, I just installed a fresh ubuntu 12.04.5 on a dell laptop and got this right on ubuntu boot: https://goo.gl/RUpB49 | 05:37 |
| Jamie_1 | somsip: yes the paths all exist and are accessable as far as i know | 05:38 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: nothing relevant happens on syslog after unplug or plug. In fact the only 2 things that DO happen are wlan0 getting DHCPv4 renewals and org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher being activated. I know these are both networking things, but neither coincides with a change of ethernet state | 05:38 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: ubuntu version? | 05:39 |
| somsip | Jamie_1: paste an ls -la ../../../vendor from the directory that contains that script | 05:39 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: 14.04 | 05:39 |
| Jamie_1 | somsip: okay one sec | 05:39 |
| keviv | wat | 05:39 |
| keviv | um | 05:39 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: soooooo I plug it into power while ethernet is in and suddenly NM connects to eth0 | 05:40 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: what driver shows sudo lshw -C network? | 05:40 |
| Jamie_1 | somsip: just so you know that dir is on a device https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8842911 | 05:41 |
| somsip | Jamie_1: what device? A firefoxOS device by any chance? | 05:41 |
| Jamie_1 | somsip: yes | 05:41 |
| somsip | Jamie_1: ok - good luck. Bye | 05:41 |
| Jamie_1 | somsip: what???? | 05:41 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: idk if it lists the driver | 05:42 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: its behind driver= | 05:42 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: pastebin, if your unsure | 05:43 |
| keviv | ah | 05:43 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: r8169 | 05:43 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: realtek? | 05:43 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: yeah | 05:43 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: have you installed ubuntu with working internet enabled, and updates during setup? | 05:44 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: yeah I've had this install for ... maybe about a year? | 05:44 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: went wrong after an update perhaps? | 05:45 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: it's possible | 05:45 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: try loading a previous kernel, see if you still get network drop | 05:45 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: will do, actually, is t possible to see which kernels are installed before I reboot? | 05:46 |
| keviv | oh ls /boot | 05:47 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: you can check them at grub also | 05:47 |
| keviv | ah true | 05:47 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: seems that they're all 3.13.0-xx, do kernel numbers not change a whole bunch now? | 05:49 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: just try the kernel before, previous number at the end | 05:49 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: tell me, why do you unplugh eth cable exactly? | 05:50 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: to move the laptop | 05:50 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: cant you plug eth before boot? | 05:50 |
| Hxxx | Is the ubuntu software center market down? | 05:51 |
| Hxxx | been waiting for something to process... | 05:51 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: unfortunately my laptop has a funky eth port and sometimes if it gets jostled it gets unplugged, so there's that too | 05:51 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: maybe thats why it gets faulty<? | 05:52 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: you have network drops over wifi too? | 05:52 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: I've isolated this behavior to the fact that NM will only recognize a change to eth once I plug it into power | 05:53 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: My room is a little far from the router unfortunately | 05:53 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: you could buy a stronger linksys router perhaps | 05:54 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: or try the previous kernel thing | 05:54 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: yup rebooting now | 05:54 |
| keviv | lotuspsychje: yeah switching from 3.13.0-61 to -58 seemed to do it | 05:59 |
| lotuspsychje | !yay | keviv | 06:04 |
| ubottu | keviv: Glad you made it! :-) | 06:04 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: might be a 14.04.3 thing that corrupts realteks driver | 06:04 |
| lotuspsychje | keviv: so working on previous kernel or file a new bug are your choices | 06:05 |

| subz3r0 | im not sure what youre going to try | 06:39 |

| subz3r0 | iptables -A INPUT -p TCP -m conntrack --ctstate NEW -s >somefacebookrange< -j DROP | 06:40 |
| subz3r0 | and | 06:40 |
| bestlife | squid can't block https | 06:41 |
| subz3r0 | iptables -A OUTPUT -p TCP -m conntrack --ctstate -d <somefacebookrange> -j DROP | 06:41 |
| subz3r0 | hmm? | 06:41 |

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. | 07:22 |

| Jamie_1 | hey i am having one hell of an issue... i was following directions from someone i thought knew what they were doing and by doing so accidentally set my root dir to not root any more... so now everything is messed up... is there a way to fix this at all... i dont have a spare usb to create a boot disk and cant format a partition to setup as a bootable "liveusb" due to this problem.... | 07:36 |
| Jamie_1 | i know i have created one hell of an issue.... | 07:36 |
| lotuspsychje | !recovery | Jamie_1 | 07:38 |
| ubottu | Jamie_1: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 07:38 |
| Jamie_1 | lotuspsychje: if i were to shutdown i will not be able to boot at all | 07:39 |
| lotuspsychje | Jamie_1: you can always enter grub, load previous kernel, fix broken packages from recoverymode,.. | 07:39 |
| zaggynl | or run off to the shop for a cheap usb drive | 07:40 |
| lotuspsychje | Jamie_1: or in worst case, plug out your hd physicaly and backup data | 07:40 |
| Jamie_1 | lotuspsychje: i thought that used parts of the root partiton.... | 07:40 |
| Jamie_1 | and zaggynl the closest store to me period is a good 3 mi away.... :\ | 07:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Jamie_1: what are you affraid to loose? | 07:41 |
| Jamie_1 | i dont care about losing anyting.... other than a bootable computer | 07:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Jamie_1: then try the recoverymode or previous kernel | 07:41 |
| Jamie_1 | okay i will... gonna hop onto irc on my flatfish | 07:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Jamie_1: the 'fix broken packages' option from recoverymode can do magic sometimes | 07:42 |
| Jamie_1 | i hope it does :) | 07:42 |
| zaggynl | 3 miles isn't that far away, or am I too optimistic? | 07:42 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah a cheap usb stick always comes handy with ubuntu on it | 07:43 |
| === _morphis is now known as morphis | ||
| Jamie_1 | yea.... that is a general store that carries food.... and that doesnt carry almost anything else | 07:43 |
| lotuspsychje | Jamie_1: you can also order a cheap usb bootable cd online | 07:44 |
| lotuspsychje | Jamie_1: -usb, just a bootable dvd | 07:44 |
| ObrienDave | like 5 bucks | 07:45 |
| Jamie_1 | either way i hope i can fix this easily without a usb... worse comes to worse i can break down and just do a net install | 07:45 |
| Jamie_1 | again..... | 07:45 |
| lotuspsychje | Jamie_1: download an ubuntu iso before reboot, you can load iso's into grub also | 07:45 |
| lotuspsychje | Jamie_1: if things go really wrong.. | 07:46 |
| Jamie_1 | oh.... | 07:46 |
| zaggynl | ha neat, didn't know about that | 07:46 |

| jamie_flatfish | thanks | 07:53 |
| jamie_flatfish | what hers do you hold to get into recovery mode again? | 07:56 |
| lotuspsychje | jamie_flatfish: hold shift at boot to enter grub | 07:56 |
| lotuspsychje | jamie_flatfish: then load ubuntu(recoverymode) from there | 07:56 |

| lotuspsychje | mahdi: maybe the #ubuntu-server guys might know? | 08:41 |

| NegativeFlare | Fuchs: Well, otherwise he'll have to use nano xD | 08:55 |

| NegativeFlare | Fuchs: hmph, gksudo always breaks imo. So again, do what you see fits. | 08:57 |
| Idiot | I trieed to find a solutuion, but started an arguement instead... | 08:57 |
| Fuchs | Idiot: right, you have two easy possibilities: you can either use the terminal editor nano (sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/use-vesa.conf) and edit it. A small help is displayed at the bottom, ^ is the control key, thus CTRL+X would save | 08:58 |
| NegativeFlare | Idiot: Try doing it with gksudo | 08:58 |
| Idiot | NegativeFlare: Alrighty then. | 08:58 |
| Fuchs | Idiot: the alternative version is to run whatever text editor you like, create that file, save it where you do have permissions and then copy it over with sudo cp /path/to/your/file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/use-vesa.conf | 08:58 |
| tintedwindows | command "df -h" then sudo dd if="name of iso imag" of="/nameofusbdrive(minusthe#)" | 08:58 |
| Fuchs | Idiot: the last possibility is to run a graphical application as root, for that: please use gksudo, as per above | 08:58 |
| tintedwindows | haha i thought you were calling him an idiot at first | 08:59 |

| angs | dmesg shows " This device cannot do calls on its own. It is not a modem." for a usb dongle.http://paste.ubuntu.com/12106835/ Is it an error, what does it mean? | 10:21 |
| linuxholic | Has anyone ever used VDPAU on vlc in ubuntu? | 10:22 |
| Amoz | darknote, and fyi, I believe a new intel graphics driver install will do no change, because the chipset is quite old, and you already have a working driver (it seems) | 10:22 |
| darknote | Amoz: yeah I think so, its sort of bug I guess but I dont know how to solve | 10:23 |
| Amoz | darknote, you mentioned a unity bug, do you have a link? | 10:24 |

| linuxholic | Has anyone ever used VDPAU on vlc in ubuntu? | 10:25 |
| Amoz | darknote, did you try the suggestion in the comments? | 10:26 |
| Amoz | linuxholic, stop repeating your question, ask once and wait | 10:27 |
| darknote | Amoz: yeah I tried with comment number 95 | 10:27 |
| darknote | Amoz: http://askubuntu.com/questions/450555/very-slow-graphics-performance-after-upgrade-12-04-14-04 | 10:27 |
| darknote | Amoz: alomost same problem I'm having | 10:27 |
| Amoz | darknote, basically, when those things happen, you have to just try all different "fixes" and see if one solves your problem :P | 10:30 |
| === hamma_ is now known as hamma | ||
| Amoz | darknote, so you can try all the boot parameters, e.g. "video=LVDS-1:d" as in your link, and check whether it fixes the problem or not. If it doesn't, remove the change and try something else. | 10:31 |
| Amoz | darknote, if I knew the problem I | 10:31 |
| Amoz | blah | 10:31 |
| Amoz | darknote, if I knew the problem I'd definitely respond with the correct fix as the first suggestion :) | 10:31 |
| Amoz | darknote, hmm have your ever used an external monitor to that computer? | 10:33 |
| darknote | Amoz: no | 10:33 |
| === dv__ is now known as dv_ | ||
| darknote | Amoz: so are you recommending adding a kernel parameter | 10:34 |

| darknote | Amoz: I saw almost all the bug , I've been trying to solve this for a week... even I just installed ubuntu yesterday | 10:39 |
| darknote | Amoz: now I'm confused | 10:39 |
| HewloThere | Hia. I've accidentally locked myself out of SSH on a dedi. I'm currently in rescue mode. This is the error PuTTY is giving me: http://i.hewlothere.me/tKvsU.png | 10:40 |
| k1l | HewloThere: how did you lock yourself out? | 10:40 |
| HewloThere | I was trying to jail SSH/SFTP users... | 10:40 |
| Amoz | darknote, you've tried to solve it for a week, and you installed ubuntu yesterday? | 10:41 |
| k1l | then revert the changes from recovery? | 10:41 |
| HewloThere | I can't, because they're not there. | 10:41 |
| HewloThere | The files I changed aren't in recovery. | 10:41 |
| darknote | Amoz: yeah after a week a guy just told me to add a ppa then my system crushed, I tried fix but had to install os again | 10:42 |
| k1l | HewloThere: best is to ask the support of that server hoster. they will know best about their recovery system and how to recover their servers | 10:42 |
| Amoz | darknote, oh.. next time, you maybe could try ppa-purge first. Unless you already did that | 10:42 |
| HewloThere | k1l: It's unmanaged, it's in my hands. :/ | 10:43 |
| HewloThere | It's SoftLayer if it makes a difference. | 10:43 |
| darknote | Amoz: thats what I learn :) | 10:43 |
| Amoz | HewloThere, what *do* you get in the recovery environment then? | 10:43 |
| HewloThere | I boot in to rescue mode and connect, but I can't do normal tasks like that | 10:44 |
| HewloThere | It has important data on it I need. | 10:44 |
| k1l | HewloThere: so i bet softlayer got a support or customers forums? | 10:44 |
| Amoz | darknote, just to verify, this is an issue you've got since going from 12.04 -> 14.04, even when you do a fresh 14.04 reinstall? | 10:44 |
| HewloThere | They have support. | 10:44 |
| HewloThere | I'm unmanaged. | 10:45 |
| Amoz | HewloThere, what exactly is "rescue mode" if you can't do e.g. a SSH rescue fix? | 10:46 |
| k1l | HewloThere: the point is: some hosters have custom selfmade recoveries, so it differs what you can do or what steps you need to do on that exact recovery. so the "regular ubuntu way" may not work because of their special setup. so best is to ask them first | 10:46 |
| HewloThere | Well, okay. | 10:46 |
| darknote | Amoz , no I've been using 14.04 for a year , but recently couple of months earlier just after distro update I got the problem... I saw they improved some feature... but it needs high performance graphics | 10:47 |
| Amoz | HewloThere, maybe you can describe exactly what you changed before ? | 10:47 |
| k1l | its not about if it is managed by them. its a support issue when you want to recover a system. so see if they offer free support for that (or pay them if its that important) or see if there is a how to in their customer forums or such. | 10:47 |
| HewloThere | I followed these: http://allanfeid.com/content/creating-chroot-jail-ssh-access http://askubuntu.com/questions/93411/simple-easy-way-to-jail-users | 10:48 |
| k1l | HewloThere: most times you need to mount the server hdd first in the recovery. | 10:48 |
| HewloThere | Yea, I've done that | 10:48 |
| Amoz | HewloThere, and what do you see in the mounted directory? Does it look like a normal linux directory tree? | 10:49 |
| HewloThere | http://paste.hewlothere.me/ipuhalowiz.mel | 10:50 |
| === woahguy is now known as cgk24 | ||
| HewloThere | If I can uninstall OpenSSH then install it, I'm fine, but apt-get doesn't work in recovery. | 10:51 |
| Amoz | HewloThere, maybe because you need to chroot to the real fs ? | 10:51 |
| HewloThere | Not sure what you mean? | 10:52 |
| Amoz | HewloThere, right now you're *outside* the normal directory tree, e.g. your $PATH does not contain your usual tools. If you do /<mntpoint>/usr/bin/apt-get , can you get apt-get to work then? | 10:53 |
| HewloThere | Err, not sure what the command to mount like that is. :/ | 10:54 |
| Amoz | just try to run it with --help or something, see if it's reachable. And if it is, you can probably do a chroot /mntpoint | 10:54 |
| HewloThere | Would this be the right syntax? mount -rw -o remount / | 10:54 |
| Amoz | HewloThere, mountpoint is whatever directory you are in to be able to see the file system tree | 10:55 |
| Amoz | meh, nvm, it's probably not like that. | 10:55 |
| Amoz | HewloThere, are able to just show the mounts by running the "mount" command ? | 10:56 |

| buscon | my network is not that fast, so i'd like to put the packages on a local server and install them from that location | 10:58 |

| buscon | how can I do that? | 10:58 |
| cgk24 | just choose "format whole drive or similiar: | 10:58 |
| cgk24 | thats a good q buscon | 11:01 |

| ac3takwas_ | hello | 11:28 |
| k1l | YK: if you want to test ubuntu run it from a usb drive or dvd. if you want to install it install it into real partitions | 11:28 |

| ac3takwas_ | I've tried a few tips I got from the internet | 11:29 |

| YK | Thanks all. | 11:32 |
| Ben64 | kennydude: well it should have made a file in /root | 11:33 |
| Ben64 | kennydude: and if it did, then the drive can be written to.. so you got something else going on | 11:33 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, what exactly do you want to do? | 11:33 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: check if apache is running or not | 11:34 |
| YK | Virtual box itself will consume system resources and I may not be getting same performance. I my hp notebook has only 2 GB RAM and with a Windows 10 host... it will be at pure mercy of flawed Windows system | 11:34 |
| Ben64 | vapeboy: don't worry about it, it doesn't stop running on its own... | 11:34 |
| vapeboy | it does | 11:34 |
| Ben64 | it really doesn't | 11:34 |
| YK | Is there any better alternate? | 11:34 |
| kennydude | Ben64: written fine; no idea :/ | 11:35 |
| vapeboy | Ben64: it is not the issue here, if it does or it doesn't | 11:35 |
| cfhowlett | YK, vbox + lubuntu is much lighter. | 11:35 |
| vapeboy | I just want to check if it's running or not | 11:35 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, depending on the context, that should work | 11:35 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, do you run it in a script? | 11:35 |
| Ben64 | vapeboy: it is the issue, theres no point in making this script run all the time to check and restart it | 11:35 |
| vapeboy | Amoz, yes and it looks like this: http://pastie.org/private/pzu5ybzrucqdgvoruicuw | 11:36 |
| Ben64 | if apache is crashing, fix that problem, don't make some silly script to restart it | 11:36 |
| HewloThere | Sorry for the long reply Amoz. I'm not sure what you mean? | 11:36 |
| pmted | I have compiled a new kernel and installed all of the .deb-files. When I reboot the computer uses the old kernel. Furthermore, the new kernel files does not show up in /boot. What do? | 11:37 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, and what happens when you run it, and what do you expect to happen? | 11:37 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: so I've created to shell scripts, one for mysql - http://cssjockey.com/how-to-create-a-cron-job-to-start-mysql-if-it-stops/ | 11:38 |
| vapeboy | which happens to work | 11:38 |
| vapeboy | and a similar one for apache, which doesn't work | 11:38 |
| vapeboy | and it looks to me like the issue is this line: [[ ! "$(/usr/sbin/service apache2 status)" =~ "running" ]] | 11:38 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, although I really have to side with Ben64 on this one. You should solve the actual problem. | 11:38 |
| Ben64 | vapeboy: here just run this if you want to be silly. "while [ 0 ]; do service apache2 start; done;" | 11:39 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, again, what happens when you run your script? | 11:39 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: apache doesn't start | 11:39 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, can it start when you run only the command without a script? | 11:40 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: yes, it does start when I sudo service apache2 start | 11:41 |

| pmted | I could really use some help on how to boot into my newly created kernel. I'm using EFI, so I am not sure where to change for it to boot into it. | 11:42 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: yes, I've identified that "if [[ ! "$(/usr/sbin/service apache2 status)" =~ "running" ]]" does not serve its purpose | 11:44 |

| Ben64 | vapeboy: so apache on my server has been running for 354 days, you don't need a script | 11:45 |
| ac3takwas_ | I need to run a CLI-base program e.g Ipython; but it launches with a different terminal from the one Intend it to launch with? | 11:45 |
| Amoz | ac3takwas_, this was the first hit on google, http://askubuntu.com/questions/70540/how-can-i-set-default-terminal-used-in-unity | 11:45 |
| ac3takwas_ | Amoz, thanks but that doesn't quite help | 11:46 |
| ac3takwas_ | I've been to that link before | 11:46 |
| Fuchs | ac3takwas_: as in: the wrong graphical terminal launches? If yes: how exactly are you running the CLI based program? | 11:47 |
| fjx | hi | 11:47 |
| fjx | are you form | 11:47 |
| fjx | ? | 11:47 |
| ac3takwas_ | The thing is Each time I run the program, it launches with gnome-terminal despite having set terminator as default | 11:47 |
| vapeboy | /usr/sbin/service apache2 status returns Apache2 is running (pid 14678). | 11:47 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: the check looks alright. | 11:47 |
| cfhowlett | fjx, this is u.buntu support. ask your support question | 11:47 |
| sorbolene | anyone familiar here with upstart that can help get my script going? | 11:47 |
| sorbolene | im getting an error with.... | 11:48 |
| ac3takwas_ | Then I uninstalled gnome-terminal | 11:48 |
| ac3takwas_ | And then it began launching xterm | 11:48 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: is it "=~" perhaps? | 11:48 |
| sorbolene | setgid / setuid doesn't work | 11:48 |
| ac3takwas_ | Again I uninstalled xterm, then it doesn't run at all | 11:48 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, works for me | 11:48 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: hm | 11:49 |
| Ben64 | vapeboy: really, fix the problem instead of putting duct tape over it | 11:49 |
| Amoz | ac3takwas_, how do you start Ipython? You can just open a terminal of your choice and run "ipython" no? | 11:49 |
| ioria | vapeboy, for me is working... but would be better understand the deep cause | 11:49 |
| vapeboy | the whole "check if up, start if it isn't | 11:49 |
| vapeboy | " thing, Amoz? | 11:49 |
| ac3takwas_ | I'd expect it to run since terminator is the only option of a terminal left for it to run with, but "no" | 11:49 |
| ac3takwas_ | Amoz, yeah I know that | 11:49 |
| ac3takwas_ | I'm only trying to guard against other programs that might be faced with the same issue | 11:50 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, http://pastebin.ca/3110389 | 11:50 |
| Amoz | ac3takwas_, do you start ipython from a graphical menu somewhere? | 11:50 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, just make sure your shell is bash | 11:51 |
| ac3takwas_ | Yes | 11:51 |
| Amoz | ac3takwas_, then it's probably hardcoded in the command for the launcher icon | 11:51 |
| ioria | vapeboy,if you post the script (i know, it 's on the website) maybe we spot an error | 11:51 |
| fjx | icon' t see | 11:52 |
| ac3takwas_ | Okay, that's may be true | 11:52 |
| ac3takwas_ | And anyway I might be able to edit that? | 11:52 |
| Ben64 | the error is the script, its not necessary and can hide problems. instead of finding out why apache is crashing you just start it again, who cares right | 11:52 |

| vapeboy | Amoz: also, this always gives me doesnt, both when apache is down and up: http://pastie.org/private/ohpuvd9ohurvwhuq9bh1fg | 11:54 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, but again, look at the logs for apache. You really have something weird going on here if it randomly crashes. So you aren't solving this in a good way | 11:55 |
| ioria | vapeboy, forgot this #!/bin/bash | 11:55 |
| anlashok | hello, what's new with ubuntu | 11:55 |
| Ben64 | vapeboy: seriously, why are you not fixing the actual problem | 11:55 |
| fjx | i don't now | 11:55 |
| ac3takwas_ | Amoz, thanks for your help | 11:56 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, remove the "!" in front | 11:57 |
| ac3takwas_ | Guys, how can I restrict internet usage by certain apps on Ubuntu? | 11:57 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, lol | 11:58 |
| ioria | yep | 11:58 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, nvm, the reason for this is that you're checking something that doesn't change a state I believe | 11:58 |
| Ben64 | Amoz: nope | 11:59 |
| ioria | no, true | 11:59 |
| Ben64 | oh for returning both | 11:59 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, service status ALWAYS outputs the substring "running" | 11:59 |
| Amoz | either "is not running", or "is running" | 12:00 |
| Amoz | you have to check for the substring "not running" to actually see a difference between the two. | 12:00 |
| sorbolene | Amoz: you doing upstart troubleshooting here? | 12:00 |
| Amoz | sorbolene, no | 12:00 |
| Ben64 | OR, actually fix the problem instead of making this script at all! | 12:00 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: hmmmmm, interesting | 12:00 |
| Ben64 | we don't need any more vulnerable servers to become mail relays | 12:00 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: so if [[ "$(/usr/sbin/service apache2 status)" =~ "not running" ]] | 12:01 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, try it | 12:01 |
| Amoz | and come back if you still have problems | 12:01 |
| Ben42 | vapeboy: really, why not fix the problem of apache crashing? | 12:01 |
| vapeboy | /usr/sbin/service apache2 status ——> Apache2 is NOT running. | 12:02 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: stil ldoesn't work | 12:02 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, works here | 12:03 |

| Amoz | although, change lighttpd to apache ofc | 12:04 |
| bobbyphoton | vapeboy: why not fix the actual problem of apache crashing? | 12:05 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, exactly how do you determine that "it doesn't work" ? | 12:05 |
| === db is now known as Guest7655 | ||
| vapeboy | Amoz: hm, it always gives me the "else" option, both when apache is down and up | 12:05 |

| Amoz | vapeboy, works here | 12:07 |
| bobbyphoton | vapeboy: you're spending a whooole lot of time on this script when you should be fixing apache | 12:07 |
| vapeboy | i leave apache up, I do ~/apachefix.sh it gives me "running". I stop the apache, run ~/apachefix.sh it gives me "running" again | 12:07 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: you were testing lighttpd | 12:08 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, indeed | 12:08 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: can you try apache2 instead? | 12:08 |
| Amoz | no | 12:08 |
| Volis | Hi, I'm trying to fix a computer. It connects to the wifi but there is no internet. I'm not sure what the problem is. Here's what the output is with ifconfig, route and ping: http://pastie.org/10356502 | 12:08 |
| Ben64 | vapeboy: it works on apache, maybe you just need to FIX APACHE | 12:09 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, just check the output from service status, is that the same when you manually stop and start it? | 12:09 |
| vapeboy | Ben64: have you got OCD or something? you've written the same damn thing like a million times now | 12:09 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, or better yet, show me exactly the two different outputs from service status when apache is "stopped" and "started". | 12:09 |
| sorbolene | amoz: if you have time, are you able to assist? in my upstart log, i keep getting "setuid: not found" - http://pastebin.com/9BTXT3ij | 12:09 |
| Ben64 | vapeboy: because it is IMPORTANT, you should not be running a server if you don't care to fix problems, and want a script to ignore the problem for you. thats how you will get your server hacked and rooted and exploited. i'm trying to help you and you're just ignoring everything | 12:10 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: /usr/sbin/service apache2 status -> Apache2 is running (pid 16015). | 12:10 |

| vapeboy | Amoz: /usr/sbin/service apache2 status -> Apache2 is NOT running. | 12:11 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, it's case sensitive | 12:11 |
| Amoz | vapeboy, you can't put "not running" if the actual string you're checking for is "NOT running" | 12:12 |
| Ben64 | vapeboy: i give up, come back when your server gets hacked, have a good night | 12:12 |
| Volis | Is there something like restore in Ubuntu? I've tried resetting the network manager with the `sudo service network-manager restart` but that didn't help. | 12:12 |

| clays | who can help mi with use secound disk in virt manager? | 12:12 |
| cfhowlett | Volis, restore? not so much. reconfigure? absolutely | 12:13 |
| vapeboy | Amoz: you are right, it is case sensitive | 12:13 |
| vapeboy | that solved it, tyvm <3 | 12:13 |
| vapeboy | Ben64: I will fix my apache, I'm just setting up parachutes | 12:13 |

| sorbolene | Ben64: i thought it came built with init? | 12:15 |
| Ben64 | nope | 12:15 |
| cfhowlett | !ask | clay | 12:15 |
| ubottu | clay: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 12:15 |
| sorbolene | gosh damn | 12:15 |
| Volis | cfhowlett: Looking from the command history, it looks like this guy checked things with nmcli, saw resolv.conf, added something with route add -net, probably edited /etc/network/interfaces | 12:15 |
| Volis | That's it. | 12:15 |
| sorbolene | Ben64: which package is it? | 12:16 |
| Ben64 | sorbolene: type "setuid" in terminal to find out | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | Volis, yow. wow. completely over my head. I've done the *very* occasional dpkg --reconfigure foo.deb - not sure that's helpful here | 12:16 |
| sorbolene | bloody genius Ben64 | 12:17 |
| Volis | cfhowlett: :( | 12:17 |
| Amoz | Volis, so you have an IP on the if ? | 12:17 |
| TJ- | Volis: that pastebin tells us: 1. there are 2 Ethernet interfaces, both configured and presumably connected. 2. they are both on the same sub-net (192.168.0.0/24) 3. Both are configured as a default route. 4. for routing, eth0 has preference (metric is lowest). 5. "unknown host" means DNS resolution is failing | 12:18 |
| Volis | Amoz: I'm not sure what you mean but the ip address is 192.168.0.102 http://pastie.org/10356502 | 12:19 |
| Amoz | Volis, sounds like TJ knows more here :P | 12:20 |
| TJ- | Volis: "nmcli device" will tell you what interfaces Network Manager" is managing/are connected | 12:20 |
| Volis | TJ-: oh, okay I need to reset the preference then? There isn't any LAN cable connected. | 12:20 |
| Volis | ok | 12:20 |
| TJ- | Volis: "ls -l /etc/reoslv.conf" should show that is a symlink "/etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf" | 12:20 |
| TJ- | Volis: "/etc/network/interfaces" should, at most, only have entries for "iface lo" if NM is expected to automatically manage the network | 12:21 |
| TJ- | Volis: typo, grr! "ls -l /etc/resolv.conf" should show that is a symlink "/etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf" | 12:21 |
| sorbolene | Ben64: i got further.."use : setuid uid|username comand ..." | 12:21 |
| Volis | TJ-: Yes, there is symlink. And, only wlan0 is in 'connected' state. Rest eth0 and lo are in unmanaged state. I've never heard about 'lo' before, it's of type 'loopback' | 12:22 |
| TJ- | Volis: the contents of "/etc/resolv.conf" should usually be only "nameserver 127.0.1.1" (plus # comments). | 12:22 |
| TJ- | Volis: "lo" is the kernel's internal loopback interface, it always exists | 12:22 |
| TJ- | Volis: The way DNS resolution works is this: Network Manager runs its own private instance of 'dnsmasq' a caching DNS resolver, which listens for local connections on 127.0.1.1 (the address in resolv.conf) | 12:23 |
| bencc | how can I find which packages also install http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/fonts/fonts-crosextra-carlito? | 12:23 |
| Volis | TJ-: Here's what's in /etc/network/interfaces http://pastie.org/10356522 | 12:24 |
| TJ- | Volis: When Network Manager supervises a new connection, and that connection is set to use DHCP, it launches /sbin/dhclient which gets the DHCP lease, the upstream DNS servers, and anything else the DHCP server hands out. NM then passes the nameserver entries to its private instance of dnsmasq | 12:24 |
| === badbodh is now known as Guest37383 | ||
| Volis | oh | 12:25 |
| TJ- | Volis: OK ... remove everything but the first 2 lines... you don't want anything for eth0 in there, else NM will ignore the eth0 interface and its settings can conflict. Do this first: "sudo ifdown eth0" then edit "/etc/network/interfaces" and just leave the entries for "lo" | 12:26 |
| Volis | Okay, captain! | 12:26 |
| === ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube | ||

| winsux | a reinstall didn't fix the problem. removing h265 support did not work either | 12:27 |
| TJ- | Volis: now "nmcli device" should show eth0 as 'unavailable' or 'disconnected' | 12:28 |

| TJ- | Volis make sure both wlan0 and eth0 work independently by disconnecting one then the other and reconnecting | 12:30 |
| Volis | TJ-: I'm on my way to become communications engineer. Which books should I sworn by to become a master like you? | 12:30 |
| winsux | how do you list packages installed by a particular ppa? | 12:30 |
| TJ- | Volis: none. Hack with systems and read the man-pages, read the source-code, and set up complex scenarios and break them ... then figure out how to fix them | 12:31 |
| Volis | Sure thing! | 12:31 |
| Amoz | Volis, what's a "communications engineer" ? It's quite important that you know all the basics for networking. E.g. layers, routing, protocols etc. Hard to give specific advice. | 12:31 |
| TJ- | Volis: the beauty of open-source is... it's open to you, it is up to you to dig in.. you can dig right down to the hardware if you really want to and no one will stop you | 12:31 |
| Amoz | Volis, although, linux troubleshooting is more of man-pages and know the tools, as TJ wrote. | 12:32 |
| Volis | Amoz: The major is actually Electronics and Communications Engineering. | 12:32 |
| docmur | I have tftpd-hpa running as a PXE server.

Nothing I do seems to bring this tftpd up anymore. | 12:33 |
| Volis | I'm hoping to start contributing to some projects and then apply for Google Summer of Code next year. | 12:33 |
| Amoz | Volis, sounds like you study a lot of networks then, no? | 12:33 |
| TJ- | Volis: use virtual machine networks on your own PC to experiment with scenarios you don't have the hardware for. Look at software network simulation tools too | 12:33 |

| Amoz | Volis, oh... I'm in a generic MoS of IT, and we studied a computer networks course in 3rd year. | 12:34 |
| TJ- | Volis: For your purposes I recommend Marionnet | 12:35 |
| Amoz | temo1997, ubuntu doesn't have a root passwd by default. You should use sudo | 12:35 |
| Volis | Thanks, TJ- I'll check them out! :) | 12:35 |
| Amoz | Volis, uh, the correct term is M.Sc , not MoS :P | 12:35 |
| temo1997 | yes i already try it with sudo passwd but nothing it`s can`t open | 12:36 |
| Volis | Heh, I'd already google'd that out of amazement. | 12:36 |
| ac3takwas_ | Amoz, Volis, sorry to bother you, but how do I do that? | 12:36 |
| temo1997 | in user`s i cant show root but sudo -sH is root | 12:37 |
| Amoz | ac3takwas_, you'll have to set it in e.g. bashrc | 12:37 |

| Technobliterator | okay, how do I assign it more space? | 13:46 |
| Jackevansevo | sohail-ahmed: I'm unsure what the problem could be then :/ | 13:46 |
| cfhowlett | Technobliterator, do this: df -h | nc termbin.com 9999 and show the url here | 13:47 |
| mcphail | Technobliterator: you need to go in to the steam settings and create a new library on one of your emptier partitions | 13:47 |

| ubottu | Technobliterator suggestion: create a dedicated /home. otherwise, on reinstall, all your goodies go bye bye.: Your home directory is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For moving your home directory to a separate partition, please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 13:58 |
| boriseto | does anybody else has problems when trying to buy software from Ubuntu Software Center? It gets stuck at: Processing your request for "***"... Information received | 13:59 |
| Technobliterator | alright, what does this do? | 14:00 |
| annbow | ... or mv the steam directory from your home to a different partition, then add the mount point to fstab | 14:01 |
| cfhowlett | Technobliterator, when you install ubuntu, the partition usually gets formatted. your /home is IN your ubuntu partition. thus >>> formatted >>> gone. a dedicated partition remains in place during a reinstall. just a suggestion. | 14:02 |
| Technobliterator | ahh, right | 14:02 |
| Technobliterator | Okay, I'll bear that in mind, thanks | 14:03 |

| zykotick9 | Dorfen: fyi, arandr is a GUI xrandr frontend, that has a "Save" to script option... i find it handy. best of luck. | 14:08 |

| OneM_Industries | So, Ubuntu 14.04LTS is going to be supported for quite a while, yeah? | 14:15 |
| benjwadams | per the conventions in `man hier`, where ought I deploy my programs on production? I've seen wildly varying | 14:16 |
| OerHeks | that is why it is called LTS | 14:16 |
| benjwadams | conventions and the only common factor is that programs seem to be deployed in different places on different boxes | 14:16 |
| benjwadams | sometimes /home/, sometimes a separate dir off root, sometimes /opt/, sometimes /var, `man hier` seems to suggest /usr/local and my head wants to explode | 14:17 |
| OneM_Industries | Thank you, wanted to put something on this laptop that would be supported for a long time that was NOT windows. | 14:18 |

| Rudde | So I manged to configure L2TP/IpSec server on my ubuntu box, but I get really bad speeds I have 100/20 Mbit and get something like 1.5/5 Mbit, and via sockets proxy to the same server I get 100/15 mbit | 14:19 |
| varaindemian | I have this ssd https://www.wave.com/mz7ln256hchp-000l7 | 14:20 |
| Rudde | CPU load is on 2% under l2tp load | 14:20 |
| varaindemian | on a Thinkpad T450 | 14:20 |
| OerHeks | varaindemian, sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdX | grep "TRIM supported" # where X is sda/sdb/sdc etc | 14:22 |
| varaindemian | OerHeks: thx. do you use it? | 14:23 |
| OerHeks | varaindemian, , trim is automatic enabled , but you can run manually: sudo fstrim -v / | 14:23 |
| OerHeks | that can take a while on a 512 gb ssd :-D | 14:24 |
| varaindemian | OerHeks: sudo: hdparm: command not found | 14:25 |
| OerHeks | varaindemian, so you are not running ubuntu ? | 14:25 |
| varaindemian | debian... | 14:25 |

| s37 | t | 15:34 |
| ioria | loa do you want to install them ? | 15:35 |

| prince | /msg NickServ identify spiderman | 15:36 |
| ioria | loa "If the dependencies have changed on one of the packages you have installed so that a new package must be installed to perform the upgrade then that will be listed as "kept-back". | 15:38 |
| Pici | loa: it may be fixed by doing an apt-get dist-upgrade. | 15:38 |
| Pici | !dist-upgrade | obligitory | 15:38 |
| ubottu | obligitory: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 15:38 |
| ioria | yes, but maybe he wants to upgrade just one package | 15:39 |

| loa | ignore that linux-kernel related packages | 15:40 |
| k1l_ | loa: the kernel packages are "new installs" in reality, since its the metapackage which will need the new packages to be installed. so it needs the "apt-get dist-upgrade" command | 15:42 |
| loa | k1l_, kenel packages are no hold by me ignore them. | 15:42 |

| loa | so i understand now... | 15:44 |
| loa | i need just do dist-upgrade | 15:44 |
| k1l_ | yes. that is a very confusing way of naming and function but its due to the very old days when apt-get was made. today we use apt-get differently in that context on ubuntu. for the versionupgrades to 15.04 etc we use "do-release-upgrade" and not apt-get. | 15:45 |
| k1l_ | you can use the newer "apt" to have less confusion. "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" | 15:46 |

| buscon | hi | 16:05 |
| daftykins | amirite: can you phrase that as a question? | 16:05 |
| buscon | i'm running 13.10 and i'm trying to update to 14.04 | 16:05 |
| amirite | how do i fix unverified packages in my apt repo? i updated the expiration date of the gpg key so it's no longer expired and exported the key to ppa.blah.com.key | 16:05 |
| cfhowlett | daftykins, question? I thought it was commentary :) | 16:05 |
| buscon | when i run do-release-upgrade i get a "No new release found" | 16:05 |
| amirite | yet stuff still doesn't install without force | 16:05 |
| buscon | how can i fix that? | 16:06 |
| amirite | i can't google this question because everybody who asks this is asking from the client side perspective | 16:06 |
| cfhowlett | !eolupgrade | buscon | 16:06 |
| ubottu | buscon: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 16:06 |
| amirite | i'm the server | 16:06 |
| onefix | Anyone know of a mount option in FSTAB that will automatically zero unused blocks (similar to zerofree, but live). | 16:06 |
| amirite | so why is a package unverified? what are the causes? | 16:07 |
| daftykins | onefix - like trim? | 16:07 |
| onefix | I never thought of that...but trim might just be what I want | 16:08 |
| daftykins | assuming SSD | 16:08 |
| artois | onefix: think it's usually called 'discard' in fstab-speak | 16:09 |
| onefix | No,m VMware, I'm trying to make sure that thin provisioned VMDKs can free up unused space. | 16:09 |
| artois | sure they aren't? | 16:09 |
| LonelyDanbo | If Ubuntu had a swap file partition, it would be mounted, right? so if I have a swap file partition that's not mounted it probably belongs to the other OS I installed {Debian} and it's safe to delete it, right? | 16:09 |
| artois | LonelyDanbo: no swap isn't mounted | 16:10 |
| LonelyDanbo | ... oh. | 16:10 |
| artois | try sudo swapon -s | 16:10 |
| artois | or check /etc/fstab | 16:10 |
| LonelyDanbo | k, thanks. I'll check. | 16:11 |
| artois | if you accidentally deleted a swap partition, though, no particularly enduring harm would be done =) | 16:11 |
| artois | it's just an empty space to swap things, after all | 16:11 |
| buscon | cfhowlett, thanks for the links, i followed them but i still get "No new release found" | 16:11 |
| LonelyDanbo | hm. I guess so. | 16:12 |
| cfhowlett | buscon, download the 14.04 .iso and clean install. | 16:12 |
| OneM_Industries | Ok, so I am trying to get wireless working on this lenovo g50. I have run this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370108 script, and here: pastebin.com/qwaMRkQH is the output. Any ideas? | 16:12 |
| buscon | cfhowlett, eheh, it might be the easiest option... | 16:12 |
| buscon | but i'd have rather keep the current system | 16:12 |
| cfhowlett | buscon, your current version receives NO security updates or other support. use at your own risk and don't ask here for help fixing it. | 16:13 |
| daftykins | buscon: go into your software and sources settings and check for what release types you're offered, unless that's what you were shown already | 16:14 |
| LonelyDanbo | changing partitions always makes me nervous. I'm not sure what to do, but right now I have my HD mostly split in two and I need more space. | 16:15 |
| cfhowlett | LonelyDanbo, live boot > gparted > resize. | 16:16 |
| LambdaComplex | ^ | 16:16 |
| LonelyDanbo | live boot is with the installer? | 16:16 |
| LambdaComplex | Live boot with any Live CD | 16:17 |
| LambdaComplex | Well, any Live CD that has gparted :P | 16:17 |
| LonelyDanbo | or ISO? I don't have a CD drive. | 16:17 |
| LambdaComplex | Or parted/cfdisk/anything else. Those are CLI though | 16:17 |
| cfhowlett | LonelyDanbo, bootable USB? | 16:17 |
| LambdaComplex | Putting the .iso on a USB drive should work | 16:17 |
| LambdaComplex | (assuming your computer supports booting from USB drives) | 16:17 |
| LonelyDanbo | why is gparted done from a live boot instead? | 16:18 |
| LambdaComplex | Because you can't resize a mounted partition | 16:18 |
| LonelyDanbo | oh. good to know. | 16:18 |
| cfhowlett | LonelyDanbo, partitioning from a live system is bad. BAD. | 16:18 |
| LambdaComplex | cfhowlett: Um...you mean the thing literally every Linux installer does? | 16:18 |
| SuperLag | haha | 16:18 |
| SuperLag | that's what I was just thinking | 16:19 |
| cfhowlett | LambdaComplex, live system meaning booted from hdd installed | 16:19 |
| LambdaComplex | How else are you supposed to partition to install...any OS? | 16:19 |
| LambdaComplex | Oh, gotcha | 16:19 |
| cfhowlett | semantics: live session = usb /cd booted ? | 16:19 |
| LambdaComplex | cfhowlett: Why is that bad though? O.o | 16:19 |
| cfhowlett | LambdaComplex, you actually can but it will likely break your installation. as you said: partitioning from a mounted, booted partition is not to be done. | 16:21 |
| LambdaComplex | Oh dear god no | 16:21 |
| LambdaComplex | That'd would end horribly | 16:21 |
| cfhowlett | LambdaComplex, for sure. | 16:21 |
| LonelyDanbo | How can I change my mouse LED colors? I've found info on changing keyboard LED colors, but it doesn't work with my mouse. The Windows program for it doesn't change the colors through Wine. | 16:22 |

| OneM_Industries | Anyone? | 16:23 |
| LonelyDanbo | Hm. I found different results for [linux mouse led color], so perhaps I was doing the wrong search when I was looking for my specific model of mouse. | 16:24 |
| OneM_Industries | I really need help with this laptop, lspci is not even seeing the wireless adapter. | 16:24 |
| daftykins | OneM_Industries: then maybe it's USB, 'lsusb' instead | 16:24 |
| LonelyDanbo | I had problems with my laptop wifi recently. | 16:25 |
| maja | hello, does any one have experance with bluetooth ? | 16:25 |
| daftykins | OneM_Industries: oh and it does as per your paste, i see a Qualcomm Atheros device. | 16:25 |
| cfhowlett | !bluetooth | maja | 16:25 |

| kyda | Please help! Im using Ubuntu Studio and i have annoying problems with mouse and dropdown menus. Everytime i click dropdown menu it appears and dispappear again if i move my mouse while doing it. Any solution? Thanks | 16:26 |
| LonelyDanbo | It was in the... software & updates -> additional drivers tab. I had to wait for it to finish searching, and then it listed it disabled. | 16:26 |
| OneM_Industries | Still, I cannot see a wireless option in the network manager. | 16:26 |
| daftykins | OneM_Industries: yeah that's not supported under Linux yet by the looks. | 16:26 |
| maja | cfhowlett: i have tried that but no joy | 16:26 |
| OneM_Industries | D'oh! | 16:26 |
| cfhowlett | maja, post the details here. someone will know. | 16:26 |
| OneM_Industries | So, aside from a USB stick, any way to get wifi on this thing? | 16:26 |
| daftykins | OneM_Industries: there's one thing you can try, are you typing from this system right now? | 16:27 |
| maja | one sec :) | 16:27 |
| OneM_Industries | No, I am typing from my main box. | 16:27 |
| LonelyDanbo | are you sure it's bluetooth wifi? | 16:27 |
| daftykins | OneM_Industries: ok well try opening the terminal and typing "sudo modprobe ath9k" then type "ifconfig -a" and tell me if you see an *interface* other than eth0 or lo | 16:27 |
| skyrajput | how can i develop a client server architecture using c language ? | 16:27 |
| daftykins | skyrajput: find a developer channel for that question, it is NOT ubuntu support. | 16:28 |
| maja | sudo bluez-simple-agent hci0 74:29:AF:9E:11:FC | 16:28 |
| maja | Creating device failed: org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemptFailed: Page Timeout | 16:28 |

| maja | hcitool dev works ok but simple agent fail :( | 16:28 |
| skyrajput | thanks ! | 16:29 |
| LonelyDanbo | OneM_Industries: I don't think your wifi is only bluetooth. check software & updates -> additional drivers tab, and wait for it to finish searching. | 16:29 |
| skyrajput | (y) | 16:29 |
| OneM_Industries | daftykins: I still don't see any other interfaces. | 16:29 |
| daftykins | OneM_Industries: ok and "sudo modprobe -r ath9k" then "sudo modprobe ath10k" and repeat | 16:29 |
| OneM_Industries | LonelyDanbo: I have, and it only shows AMD video drivers. | 16:30 |

| daftykins | what's the issue? | 17:19 |
| ecksii | lightdm loops back rather than logging me in... I've checked all the obvious things. .Xauthority is ok, /tmp is chmod 1777 | 17:20 |
| aash | daftykins: https://bpaste.net/show/a05fd1b9e31b | 17:20 |
| ecksii | I've created a new user and that user cannot login either. | 17:20 |
| daftykins | ecksii: is every file and folder owned by you in ~/ for this user? | 17:20 |
| daftykins | ah ok so wider issue, oh dear. | 17:20 |
| ecksii | chown -R chris:chris ~chris | 17:20 |
| ecksii | yep. | 17:20 |
| daftykins | aash: so yes it's NTFS, you can't set permissions on that - you need to mount it in your /etc/fstab correctly to get permission to write to it. | 17:21 |

| ecksii | I didn't just do that. I checked first. | 17:21 |
| daftykins | guess it's lightdm log time then | 17:21 |
| ecksii | It shows the X Server starting up then 40 seconds later shutting down. | 17:22 |
| ecksii | There's nothing in .xsession-errors wither. | 17:22 |

| ecksii | Sorry about the /msg | 17:25 |
| daftykins | so, was it an upgrade? | 17:25 |
| ecksii | Yeah, I think so. | 17:26 |
| ecksii | It's mythbuntu box. And I'm really so frustrated with it that I'm about to junk it and restart from scratch. | 17:26 |
| daftykins | ah :S | 17:26 |
| daftykins | well you could purge and reinstall lightdm and whatever DE is on there | 17:27 |
| ecksii | Although I wish that debugging lightdm was as easy as debugging xdm. | 17:27 |
| daftykins | and hope for the best | 17:27 |
| theBestNunu | hello guys i have a problem. I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on Windows 8 preinstalled machine using manual partitioning. I wanted dual boot. I boot in legacy mode. But now Ubuntu starts automatically, grub is not displayed so I cannot choose Windows. What can I do to have dual-boot? ;) | 17:28 |
| daftykins | if it came with windows 8, then 8 should not have been installed in legacy mode | 17:28 |
| ActionParsnip | theBestNunu: http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/2013/09/install-ubuntu-linux-alongside-windows.html | 17:29 |
| ActionParsnip | theBestNunu: http://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/ | 17:29 |
| ecksii | ukf*y em*y, this goes from bad to worse | 17:31 |
| ecksii | I really wish lightdm was a little more verbose about what it was doing. That's no on you guys though... :-) | 17:31 |
| theBestNunu | ActionParsnip: tnx, i will try boot-repair then ;) | 17:32 |
| daftykins | theBestNunu: are you certain your 8 install was legacy and not EFI? | 17:32 |
| theBestNunu | daftykins: I'm not certain it's OEM Windows 8.1. I assumed it was legacy beacause no systems starts in EFI mode, but Ubuntu starts in Legacy. | 17:33 |
| ecksii | apt-get remove won't delete lightdm. It says that it the daemon is running. sudo service lightdm stop says there is no service lightdm installled. And sudo kill -9 (lightdm pid) just restarts the daemon. | 17:33 |
| cfhowlett | ecksii, wait, what? lightdm is pretty deeply integrated into ubuntu ... and you're removing it? | 17:34 |
| daftykins | ecksii: yep your install is hosed :) | 17:35 |
| theBestNunu | daftykins: does it mean that i installed ubuntu without EFI boot? | 17:36 |
| ecksii | I don't have to. But I'm stuck in a login loop when I try to use it. This is a mythbuntu box with my treasured recording on a seperate set of spindles. If I have to follow the disaster plan of rebuild mythbuntu and then reattach my records, I can. | 17:36 |
| daftykins | theBestNunu: you have to have installed both the same way is the thing. | 17:36 |
| theBestNunu | daftykins: Well it seems that Ubuntu is installed in Legacy mode. How do i specify what mode I want to install it in during installation? | 17:37 |
| ecksii | I'd love some advice but the perms on .Xauthority are correct, the perms on /tmp are correct, and I created a brand new user to se if pooched something in my .profile etc and the new user cannot login either. | 17:37 |
| ecksii | the lightdm log shows the X server starting. Then 40s later it shows the X server shutting down. | 17:37 |
| ecksii | service --status-all doesn't show lightdm running but kill -9 <lightdm-pid> just forces init or whatever to restart the process. | 17:38 |
| daftykins | theBestNunu: you have to boot the media (flash drive/DVD) in the correct mode, see... | 17:39 |
| daftykins | !efi | theBestNunu ... here | 17:39 |
| ubottu | theBestNunu ... here: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 17:39 |
| tgm4883 | ecksii: perhaps a reboot is in order. If you've uninstalled it, it can't start on a fresh boot | 17:39 |
| moat_joe | How can I increase the maximum stack size for a script started via systemd (specifically postgres)? | 17:40 |
| ecksii | I think I'm quite close to "this box is f*ck up enough that nuke and reinstall is the best option?" | 17:40 |
| ecksii | I rebooted it. | 17:40 |
| theBestNunu | daftykins: yea my computer has some kind of mixed mode that it supports BIOS and EFI, so im not sure what mode it loads ubuntu. is there a way to check it? | 17:40 |
| daftykins | theBestNunu: my above link provided by ubottu answers that. the screen is different | 17:42 |
| ecksii | reboot helped. I got to console login. | 17:43 |
| ecksii | I'm reinstalling xubuntu-desktop now. curiously apt says that there is a hangup and that I have to install xubuntu-default-settings first. | 17:44 |

| wileee | kira, What does this command show /etc/lsb-release | 19:07 |
| GALAXY_NEPAL | hello | 19:07 |
| Jordan_U | winsux: Try this guide but be *very* careful: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/fixing-partition-error-couldnt-mount.html Note that without "-n" mke2fs will *destroy the entire filesystem*, so again, be careful. | 19:08 |
| wileee | kira, sorry this one my mistake, lsb_release -a | 19:08 |
| ecksii | Got the lightdm issue. After finding the script it's of course my own stupidity. My .profile is written against /bin/ksh and lightdm uses bash to run it. | 19:08 |
| winsux | Jordan_U: thanks for the link, i'm going to give mke2fs a try | 19:09 |
| GALAXY_NEPAL | where can i learn command lines? | 19:09 |
| Jordan_U | winsux: Essentially, what I would guess is happening is that your superblock has been corrupted in such a way that it still looks like a valid ext4 filesystem, but one of the feature bits (possibly one for a feature that doesn't even exist yet) was flipped making fsck think that it uses a new feature that fsck isn't aware of. | 19:10 |
| winsux | Jordan_U: i think it is weird that the 2 other partitions are listed ok (no errors) in gparted while sda1 (mounted as /) is bad | 19:11 |

| Jordan_U | winsux: If it's mounting now, then please unmount it and re-run fsck normally to confirm that the superblock is really repaired and there is no other damage that needs to be fixed. | 19:24 |

| Halelujah | Hi. My sound is gone again. :/ what to do? | 19:37 |

| xSolidState | hi guys! I am trying to sync files between devices with dynamic IPs, without using dynamicDNS services or the cloud. Any hints? I seem to recall a project working on a "cloudless" software suite where the devices kept track of each others IPs and so on, but I dont remember the name. | 19:41 |
| Jordan_U | Proksima: I don't think that alone will ensure that it *completes* before mountall starts, but I'm not very familiar with upstart. | 19:41 |
| Jordan_U | winsux: No. | 19:42 |
| Proksima | I see... I will make my script run before upstart and see if that works :o | 19:43 |
| Jordan_U | winsux: Right now, mount the filesystem read-only and backup any data that you care about. It's not a good sign when fsck spits out tons of errors. | 19:43 |
| winsux | Jordan_U: yeah you are right. i'm going to backup the files then. this may take a while | 19:44 |
| Gallo_ | xSolidState: i would suggest that you have them both connect to a 3rd device with a static IP. i might try to implement a virtual private network or something. but i have no idea how to do that, as i've not crossed this bridge yet | 19:45 |
| Jordan_U | Proksima: See the second (accepted) answer here for an idea of how you might ensure that the fstab has been created before mountall has run: http://askubuntu.com/questions/21378/how-can-i-make-sure-one-upstart-job-starts-before-other-upstart-jobs Why are you generating an fstab at boot though? What is your end goal? | 19:45 |
| xSolidState | Gallo_, well I only have dynamic IPs available. If I had a server or something with a static IP I could just have the dynamic IP devices access that one periodically, no need to get them in contact at all then. | 19:46 |
| Halelujah | anyone can help me to fix sound? | 19:46 |
| Gallo_ | xSolidState: perhaps you can control a private network when these two devices are in proximity? like... over wifi when a phone is at home | 19:47 |
| Gallo_ | xSolidState: you might enjoy a static ip at aws for free for 1 year. otherwise, cheap servers are an option. i'm not sure what else to tell you. somehow you need to connect to these devices by finding out their IP | 19:48 |
| dmdmdm | can somebody write me a private message? i want to try my options of the message indicator | 19:49 |
| xSolidState | Gallo_, well I could build a script or something that checks the machines IP and notifies the other ones. So unless all devices change WAN IPs at the same time, the connections could be reestablished. | 19:49 |
| dmdmdm | thx it works. :) | 19:50 |
| xSolidState | But I am trying to avoid this, because I am fairly sure this already exists, but I just cant find it in my googling endeavours | 19:50 |
| Gallo_ | it could work | 19:50 |
| Gallo_ | but yes... can break when all of them change wans at the same time | 19:50 |
| Gallo_ | so... if you don't need this feature during a zombie apocolypse where the power resets globally and comes back in patches... go for it | 19:51 |
| xSolidState | Haha Gallo_ :D If only I could remember the name of the software that already did this. :P | 19:52 |
| Gallo_ | maybe search sourceforge? | 19:52 |
| xSolidState | Gallo_, I am going to, but it was a fairly new project, kickstarted I think, they were doing a whole suite of stuff in the wake of the NSA scandal | 19:53 |
| xSolidState | So I figured i'd ask first | 19:53 |
| Halelujah | hey I need HELP | 19:53 |
| Gallo_ | oh. in that case search slashdot. they had tons f stories about which were good and which were bad 0o | 19:53 |

| Halelujah | i have been battling with this issue for days | 19:55 |
| Halelujah | Lubuntu wont load up drivers for sound card | 19:55 |
| hydrian | I've got an issue. For some reason samba is launching a boot as 'smb -F' which makes no sense and it in the foreground at boot. | 19:55 |
| flexus | Halelujah, which soundcard? does it show up in kernel log? | 19:56 |
| hydrian | I' looked at the init script and it says it should be executing as '-D'. | 19:56 |
| Jordan_U | winsux: Please post the first 100 or so lines of the fsck log from earlier. | 19:57 |
| hydrian | And when I kill smbd it just respawns under a new PID | 19:57 |

| Jordan_U | Halelujah: lspci -k | 20:08 |
| hydrian | royiv_: Don't know | 20:08 |

| royiv_ | Pici: Ah, thanks. I knew this would be a difficult query for such a broad channel as this; I'll try there… | 20:09 |
| Jordan_U | winsux: I highly recommend using less, head, and tail for this type of thing. | 20:09 |
| hydrian | royiv_: You'd have to see if the authortative records have anything to point to a time. | 20:09 |
| MonkeyDust | Halelujah hit m to un/mute | 20:09 |

| winsux | Jordan_U: i use less head and tail all the time but i forgot i should have used those :p i'm waiting for the fsck -y output but it seems to be similar | 20:11 |
| Halelujah | MonkeyDust ah ok | 20:11 |
| Halelujah | i found out my sound card uses snd_hda_intel module | 20:12 |
| Jordan_U | rednaw: Does the node.js source you added have a newer nodejs package? Please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update". | 20:12 |
| Halelujah | so i purged and reinstall alsa stuff and after reboot i got sound back | 20:12 |
| MonkeyDust | Halelujah you've been struggling for some time now... is it solved, | 20:12 |
| Halelujah | yes | 20:12 |
| Halelujah | i have sound now | 20:12 |
| MonkeyDust | Halelujah great, breaking and fixing things is the best way to learn | 20:12 |
| winsux | Jordan_U: in one command you pasted you piped the command to pastebinit, does this command automagically create a paste on pastebin? because i didnt know how to do that i ctrlC+ctrlV'd in a text editor but that was very clunky | 20:13 |
| Halelujah | MonkeyDust are there hotkeys for sound volume? | 20:13 |

| Jordan_U | !pastebinit | winsux Indeed :) | 20:14 |
| ubottu | winsux Indeed :): pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 20:14 |
| herrkin | everytime I do sudo xxxx it says sudo unrecognized user root | 20:14 |
| herrkin | is there a way to fix it? | 20:14 |
| Halelujah | Are there hotkeys to change sound volume? | 20:14 |
| xSolidState | Halelujah, you can certainly bind keys for that | 20:15 |
| rednaw | Jordan_U: apt-get update output: http://pastebin.com/CQzPqRkx | 20:15 |
| boze | ya know when ya boot it has the Ubuntu splash screen with the dots? isn't there a way to disable that so you just seen the text scrolling? | 20:15 |
| Halelujah | xSolidState ok so there arent by default | 20:15 |
| Jordan_U | boze: Remove the "quiet" and "splash" kernel parameters. | 20:15 |
| MonkeyDust | boze try F12 while you see that screen | 20:15 |
| Halelujah | Can i bind keys trough terminal? | 20:16 |

| herrkin | no, I didnt configure it | 20:17 |
| akik | boze: also GRUB_TERMINAL=console in /etc/default/grub | 20:17 |
| Jordan_U | winsux: OK, sounds good. I would regularly check both fsck and S.M.A.R.T. but you're probably going to be fine from here on out :) | 20:17 |
| winsux | Jordan_U: maybe it is best to replace the drive now i backup'd all data, the drive has over 36000 uptime hours, the other drive has 46000 hours O_O | 20:17 |
| winsux | Jordan_U: those stats are from smartctl | 20:18 |

| proq | or if android's wifi direct has been ported to ubuntu | 20:21 |

| Jordan_U | akik: That's likely because on your particular hardware linux's vesafb doesn't work properly, and so you don't get a working tty until KMS kicks in. That's not the case for most hardware. | 20:21 |
| k1l_ | aaomidi: need to compile that yourself, because there is not even a PPA for vivid for that | 20:21 |

| omrikap | sorry, a basic question: I can set a mountpoint for a partition, right? Like a kind of a label. Something that you can see even if it's not mounted. Right? | 20:22 |
| OerHeks | !build | 20:22 |

| OerHeks | nice howto | 20:22 |
| dk_ | Hello | 20:22 |
| k1l_ | omrikap: no | 20:22 |
| aaomidi | ty | 20:22 |
| k1l_ | omrikap: well, you can make udev rules or a fstab entry. or just mount it manually | 20:22 |
| winsux | Jordan_U: thanks for your help. i have learned some new nice commands in ubuntu ;). i'm going to reboot the machine and see if everything keeps working. | 20:23 |
| Ryans_255 | how can encrypts archive header with zip tool | 20:23 |
| omrikap | k1l_: thanks. so when i choose "something else" on ubuntu install, and have the option to choose mount point, what exactely am i changing? | 20:23 |
| syntroPi | omrikap, or you just leave it where its now and symlink to it? | 20:23 |
| Jordan_U | winsux: You're welcome :) | 20:24 |
| k1l_ | omrikap: wait, you are mixing general mounting with installing? | 20:24 |
| omrikap | yes :) | 20:24 |
| k1l_ | omrikap: so what is it exactly what you want to do? | 20:24 |
| monsune | does iscsi make sense over internet? or is it meant to be ethernet only? looking for a solution that is better than nfs | 20:25 |
| OerHeks | aaomidi, it is an old project, http://sourceforge.net/projects/ddccontrol/files/ddccontrol/ not sure why it is in Wily now. | 20:25 |
| xSolidState | omrikap, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions#Systemwide_Mounts not sure what you're after but this might help. IIRC I followed this, and now i have a permanent mountpoint for a certain partition. you can unmount but it auto mounts to there | 20:25 |
| bekks | monsune: No, neither iscsi nor NFS make sense in that case. | 20:25 |
| winsux | Jordan_U: rebooting the machine worked perfectly! thanks again for your help :) | 20:25 |
| monsune | bekks do you have a solution for me? | 20:25 |
| omrikap | xSolidState: thanks, I'll take a look and be back here soon | 20:25 |
| bekks | monsune: You didnt state an issue yet. | 20:25 |
| monsune | i really need a reliable way of connecting a drive over network | 20:25 |
| akik | omrikap: it can be used to have separate partitions for your directories | 20:26 |
| Jordan_U | winsux: You're welcome :) | 20:26 |
| bekks | monsune: Connecting over which network? | 20:26 |
| xSolidState | omrikap, thats not for setting mountpoints while installing though, thats for permanently mounting storage partitions/harddrives | 20:26 |
| monsune | bekks ip network | 20:26 |
| bekks | monsune: which ip network? The internet? Some network at your office? Some network at home? | 20:26 |
| monsune | bekks ok.. it's not a local network, internet | 20:26 |
| bekks | monsune: Setup a VPN, and use NFS. | 20:27 |
| === dk_ is now known as DK_00 | ||
| akik | monsune: you might try sshfs | 20:27 |
| aaomidi | 0erHeks, I need it :( IDK why its dead | 20:27 |
| aaomidi | Do you know any alternative | 20:27 |
| aaomidi | for DDC/CI monitor control | 20:27 |
| monsune | bekks, akik: i do like both ideas | 20:27 |
| Ryans_255 | how can encrypts archive header with zip tool? | 20:27 |
| syntroPi | hmm is vpn still to be considered secure nowerdays? | 20:27 |
| monsune | it's just that i have never tried vpn on my own and same with sshfs :) | 20:27 |
| bekks | monsune: Why do you need to actually mount something, why isnt scp or rsync sufficient? | 20:28 |
| OerHeks | aaomidi, if your monitor is in the list of supported devices, go for it | 20:28 |
| aaomidi | OerHeks: ^ Sorry wrong tag | 20:28 |
| xSolidState | syntroPi, there was something about security flaws in the news lately, wasnt there? Happen to have a link? | 20:28 |
| aaomidi | Oops | 20:28 |
| aaomidi | Yeah | 20:28 |
| aaomidi | However i'm getting this :/ | 20:28 |
| monsune | bekks there will be quite huge amounts of data appearing on that drive and it needs to be processed by software installed on another box | 20:28 |
| aaomidi | configure: error: PCI utils headers not found, please install pci-utils. And its already installed | 20:29 |
| k1l_ | syntroPi: that discussion is more something for the offtopic :) | 20:29 |
| hydrian | aaomidi: did you install the dev package for pci-utils | 20:29 |
| bekks | monsune: So transfer the data regularly, using rsync, e.g. | 20:29 |
| Ryans_255 | all of you guys busy to take my question? | 20:29 |
| aaomidi | Oh, wasn't recommended by apt-get sorry :P | 20:29 |
| syntroPi | xSolidState, well all the three-letter-agencies slides suggest some parts of vpn seem to be quite broken nowerdays, but it really is a bit offtopic i admit | 20:29 |
| omrikap | xSolidState, k1l_: not sure it's what i'm looking for. i have a problem with UEFI. I did a full install on a USB stick, and want to make it bootable. It has a UEFI partition, but it is not being discovered by UEFI. | 20:30 |
| monsune | bekks but the thing is that i would need to rsync just to send them somewhere else again soon | 20:30 |
| bekks | monsune: you would have to do that, in either case. | 20:30 |
| xSolidState | syntroPi, I recall something about this, but i thought if we could provide a link, it might be relevant. | 20:30 |
| monsune | bekks so i just thought that mounting the remote fs would be more efficient and less scripting and fault tolerance | 20:30 |
| hydrian | aaomidi: Anytime your compiling, you need the *-dev packages... | 20:30 |
| bekks | monsune: Mounting isnt that fault tolerant or efficient. | 20:31 |
| OerHeks | !find pciutils | 20:31 |
| ubottu | Found: libpci-dev, pciutils | 20:31 |
| aaomidi | Yeah assumed so :P | 20:31 |
| OerHeks | aaomidi, libpci-dev i guess | 20:31 |
| monsune | bekks well i now i seem to realise that :) no bullet proof methods of doing so | 20:31 |
| aaomidi | Woot configure finished. | 20:31 |
| xSolidState | omrikap, ok thats a completely different issue. What do you mean by "not discovered by UEFI"? Can you open the boot device selection menu on your device and select the usb-stick? | 20:31 |
| monsune | bekks i was really hoping the iscsi is what i wanted | 20:31 |
| akik | monsune: try it, test it, if it works, use it | 20:31 |
| syntroPi | monsune, you even can open nautilus, ctrl + l , enter ssh://user@host/path/to/file for some quick gui copy | 20:31 |
| bekks | monsune: iscsi over internet or over vpn? you dont want it. you dont. dont. | 20:32 |
| bekks | monsune: Just use rsync :) | 20:32 |
| monsune | bekks over whatever that would be reliable | 20:32 |
| hydrian | monsune: iSCSI over the internet is a recipe for restless nights. | 20:32 |
| akik | bekks: the benefit of mounting is that you can use any local tool to access the remote data | 20:33 |
| monsune | bekks it's not that easy, if it was only about syncing i wouldn't break my head :) it's not too easy to explain the whole concept too | 20:33 |
| bekks | monsune: Since you cannot guarantee the reliability of the "internet", there is no bullet proof method. | 20:33 |
| monsune | akik that's it... | 20:33 |
| monsune | it's not just about transferring data | 20:33 |
| omrikap | xSolidState, k1l_: it can boot from usb. live usb works. a thing I have noticed is that a live usb, that do mount on my system, is mounting to /cdrom. | 20:33 |
| monsune | i need to work on them too | 20:33 |
| bekks | monsune: After syncing the data, you can work with all local tools. | 20:33 |
| bekks | You dont need to mount something for doing so. | 20:33 |
| ecksii | Thanks for the help guys!! | 20:33 |
| monsune | hydrian i will keep your word for that and i forget iscsi :) | 20:33 |
| * monsune thinks that 2 guys can't be wrong | 20:34 | |
| xSolidState | omrikap, ok sorry I misunderstood. So your full installation onto USB does not boot right? I dont think that has anything to do with the mount directory of the liveUSB. | 20:34 |
| syntroPi | monsune, maybe you could harden ssh (https://stribika.github.io/2015/01/04/secure-secure-shell.html) and use sshfs? | 20:35 |
| monsune | bekks well if there is nothing reliable as for remote mount i will rather find another set of solutions then and rethink whole concept :) | 20:35 |
| monsune | in fact even a small network outage could be a disaster so would be a broken ssh session for sshfs, etc. | 20:35 |
| monsune | i can't rely on such stuff | 20:35 |
| syntroPi | well if its over network anything will fail if the underlying network is not reliable? | 20:36 |
| monsune | syntroPi i will read on that just to learn new stuff but not sure if i can use that, perhaps worth at least some test though | 20:37 |
| aaomidi | http://pastebin.com/4uNvdxix This isn't a good sign is it hydrian OerHeks | 20:37 |
| syntroPi | monsune, if its not about realtime access but more about backup/sync id consider rsync over ssh, or even something like duplicity | 20:37 |
| bekks | monsune: So eliminate the "internet" between your hosts. :) | 20:37 |
| monsune | syntroPi the network is pretty reliable but still bekks made me realise that i got the whole thing wrong... | 20:37 |
| omrikap | xSolidState: sorry for the confusing asking. Let's start over: I have a live usb of Ubuntu. Boot fine. After that, I made a full install on another USB. This one does not even being recognized. It was in stalled with the default installer, with GPT and has EFI partition of 500 MB (the installation default). What could be the reason for it not to be recognized? | 20:38 |
| monsune | syntroPi indeed | 20:38 |
| monsune | bekks no option for that sadly | 20:38 |
| Jordan_U | omrikap: Are you trying to boot the USB drive from the same computer you installed from? | 20:39 |
| hydrian | aaomidi: Yea.. unless that's a dependancy that was missed, that's a hard one to fix. | 20:39 |
| k1l_ | omrikap: uefi not accepting removable usbs as installing devices? i know some bios have issues with it | 20:39 |
| aaomidi | :/ | 20:39 |
| xSolidState | omrikap, when you say the full install USB is not recognized, do you mean, even if you open the boot device selector, you cant see it, or do you see it but it does not boot? | 20:39 |
| bekks | monsune: Then you have to face the situation and choose the less worse option - syncing, instead of mounting. :) | 20:39 |
| xSolidState | boot device selector = pressing F8 or something at boot | 20:40 |
| omrikap | xSolidState: no. I made it on a virtual machine on another computer. And I can not see it as an option in the boot menu. The live USB get an option in the list. | 20:40 |
| omrikap | k1l_: UEFI should except usbs. That's why I don't understand this behavior (which have to be something that i'm doing wrong..). | 20:42 |
| AxisPro | hey guys | 20:43 |
| xSolidState | omrikap, did the virtual machine have any hard drives installed? the ubuntu installer might have put the bootloader on there. Try to remove any virtual storage from the VM and reinstall, this _might_ fix it. | 20:43 |
| AxisPro | helllooo | 20:43 |
| OerHeks | k1l_, omrikap , maybe fastboot is still enabled? that could prevent usb booting.. | 20:43 |

| Superdawg | I'm afraid that I don't have one of the required services loading, but for the life of me I can't find a service that might apply | 20:48 |
| OerHeks | AxisPro, please keep this channel clear for ubuntu support, thanks. | 20:49 |
| xSolidState | AxisPro, what are you doing? we told you this channel is for actual support only. If you want to talk about such things, go to another channel. | 20:49 |
| MonkeyDust | AxisPro you're in the wrong channel | 20:49 |
| raim | you | 20:50 |
| Superdawg | oh, and once I do the 'kexec -l' operation, /sys/kernel/kexec_loaded returns 1 | 20:50 |
| Superdawg | sysctl kernel.panic_on_oops = 1 as well. | 20:51 |
| Superdawg | which shouldn't matter in this case, but it's out there. | 20:52 |
| omrikap | OerHeks: but if it is fastboot, why does the live USB work? | 20:52 |
| OerHeks | omrikap, then it is not an fastboot issue. | 20:52 |
| OerHeks | i understood the usb does not work at all | 20:53 |
| omrikap | OerHeks: ok. so things are like this: live usb installed on another ubuntu machine, works fine. Full install does not get on the boot list. | 20:54 |
| xSolidState | omrikap, this really is quite odd. You probably already did that but you might want to toy around with gparted, set the partitions to bootable manually. Is the live USB stick the same device as the installed version? if not, try it on the same one | 20:54 |
| OerHeks | omrikap, check your vendor if there is an update for UEFI. | 20:55 |
| omrikap | xSolidState: both are SanDisk Cruiser Fit. I tried to gPart the USB myself, and same result. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong. I just cant tell what... | 20:56 |
| omrikap | OerHeks: I will. | 20:57 |
| Jordan_U | omrikap: Installing for UEFI for a removable drive requires extra setup. | 20:57 |
| wileee | omrikap, The install at the top of the grub menu has grub control, run a update-grub in it. | 20:57 |
| omrikap | Jordan_U: what is the extra setup needed? | 20:58 |
| SolarNRG | my screen keeps going dark every 15 minutes when watching movies and I have to wiggle the mouse to wake it up, how can I stop this? | 20:58 |
| omrikap | Jordan_U: and why? I want to understand that more than everything | 20:58 |
| Jordan_U | omrikap: k1l_: xSolidState: To make a drive UEFI bootable on any machine, rather than only on the machine on which you ran grub-install, you need to run "grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --removable". | 20:59 |
| syntroPi | SolarNRG, go in system settings power options and disable screen saver/lock? | 20:59 |
| SolarNRG | i already got it set to dont suspend never any ideas? | 20:59 |
| omrikap | Jordan_U: good to know. why does this matter? | 20:59 |
| Jordan_U | omrikap: If you're not booted into said installation then you will need to either chroot in before running grub-install or pass the appropriate --boot-directory and --efi-directory arguments to grub-install. Either way, you will need to ensure that all partitions are appropriately mounted. | 21:00 |
| omrikap | Jordan_U: how does uefi know where isntallation took place? | 21:00 |
| dingoz | hi | 21:00 |
| dingoz | anyone here know about aircrack | 21:01 |
| dingoz | ? | 21:01 |
| k1l_ | dingoz: its not in the focus of this channel | 21:01 |
| ikonia | such as ? | 21:01 |
| dingoz | i get an error | 21:01 |
| Jordan_U | omrikap: UEFI has Non Volatile RAM (NVRAM) where boot entries are stored in the firmware itself (not on disk). These entries tell the firmware where to find grub. There is also a default location that UEFI systems know to look for a bootloader if there is no boot entry, /EFI/BOOTX64.efi , but that location isn't used by default as then you might be clobbering another OS's bootloader. | 21:02 |
| SolarNRG | dingoz I used aircrack-ng ages ago and believe me you won't crack wpa2 not even with chop chop nowadays, even the reaver wps exploit is covered up ur wasting ur time unless u can find a new exploit | 21:03 |
| SolarNRG | besides u should be asking on the #kali-live room | 21:03 |
| omrikap | Jordan_U: Thanks! so how can i modify grub-install in a default Ubuntu install? | 21:03 |
| SolarNRG | Jordan_U is the UEFI where the creepy SMM and hypervisor is stored? | 21:04 |
| Jordan_U | omrikap: I wouldn't recommend trying to modify grub-install, just manually run "sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --removable" any time there is a grub update. | 21:04 |
| syntroPi | omrikap, if you want to change uefi settings you might want to take a look at "efibootmgr" | 21:05 |
| Jordan_U | SolarNRG: No, you can have SMM with BIOS as well. | 21:05 |
| SolarNRG | yeah I heard smm's been around since pentium pro | 21:05 |
| syntroPi | omrikap, but be a bit carefull with that | 21:05 |
| SolarNRG | "processor police" | 21:06 |
| omrikap | syntroPi: Yes. I try to do every change on a VM on another computer. This is why I have that much trouble I guess.. efibootmanager can't help me if i'm doing this on another machine, right? | 21:09 |

| Travie | Lmao bittickler | 21:47 |
| jhutchins | neopsyche: It sounds like the third-party repo may be off line. | 21:52 |
| do123 | how can i upgrade a installtion of 14.04 to 15.04 on command line? | 21:52 |
| OerHeks | do123, you'll need some tricks to do that, as 14.10 is EOL, see !eolupgrade | 21:54 |
| do123 | OerHeks: i have to upgrade first from 14.04 to 14.10 and then from 14.10 to 15.04? | 21:55 |
| OerHeks | do123, yes | 21:55 |
| wafflejock | do123: yup there is no direct upgrade path, other option is backup and clean install to 15.04 otherwise need to wait to jump LTS to LTS | 21:56 |
| k1l_ | do123: keep in mind, that you need to upgrade every 6 months from that on. | 21:56 |
| do123 | k1l_: thats not a problem | 21:57 |
| do123 | wafflejock: a reinstallation is sadly not possible in this case | 21:57 |
| wafflejock | do123: just curious what do you need in 15.04? | 21:58 |
| gartral | hey all, how do i test buttons on amouse? | 21:58 |
| wafflejock | gartral: can use, xev | 21:58 |
| Bashing-om | do123: I am a proponent of keeping my stable OS stable, install the 15.04 release as dual boot, and break to my heart's content . | 21:59 |
| wafflejock | gartral: it'll pop up a window just hover over that with the pointer | 21:59 |
| wafflejock | gartral: it'll show any keypresses or mouse events received | 21:59 |
| wafflejock | gartral: assuming you start xev from a terminal here to see the output too by the way | 22:01 |
| do123 | Bashing-om: 14.04 is not usable at the moment. i technically need 15.04 for running the system. but with tons of the customizations that are already done in the 14.04 thats already here | 22:02 |
| bekks | do123: Why isnt 14.04 usable? | 22:03 |
| do123 | wafflejock: see the line i wrote to Bashing-om | 22:03 |
| k1l_ | do123: that doesnt give any detail on why you need 15.04 | 22:04 |
| do123 | bekks: because i am getting graphical aterfacts i dont get at 15.04. i already updated xorg/mesa/gpu-drivers and i also already upgraded the kernek to 4.1.6 | 22:04 |
| k1l_ | !enablementstack | do123 | 22:04 |
| ubottu | do123: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases. see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 22:04 |
| do123 | k1l_: because its not working on 14.04 and simply working out of the box in 15.04 | 22:05 |
| boze | you know how on a vm you can make snapshot and if something goes wrong you can fully revert to that clean slate? would backups work like that in ubuntu? | 22:05 |
| Bashing-om | do123: My thought with " but with tons of the customizations " // 14.04 is upstart as the initate system, 15.04 is systemd - not compatible. Do a clean fresh install of 15.04 and save all the heart ache . | 22:06 |
| k1l_ | do123: well, i doubt that it is not working with 14.04.3 with the 15.04 kernel and xorg settings. but do as you want. | 22:06 |
| do123 | k1l_: the way you showed up installs more recent software then adding the xorg edgers ppa and doing an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade ? | 22:07 |
| wafflejock | boze: not entirely at least not unless you use some filesystem that supports taking snapshots of the live filesystem (believe zfs does that not sure about others also haven't used that myself) | 22:07 |
| k1l_ | do123: 3rd party PPAs are way different than the official enablement stack, yes | 22:08 |
| wafflejock | boze: personally I take a snapshot with filezilla once I'm happy with a system to have a good full backup of the working system then have daily backups using the built in duplicity backup tool to backup to a NAS | 22:08 |
| wafflejock | -filezilla +clonezilla | 22:08 |
| p4trick | Im looking into buying a Laptop. I heard there were a list of models which go really well with ubuntu. | 22:09 |
| p4trick | Is it true that there is some hardware stuff to take into account? | 22:09 |
| boze | wafflejock: thanks, I'll look into clonezilla! | 22:09 |
| p4trick | Or is a lenovo w450 just fine... | 22:09 |
| do123 | k1l_: i know that they are different. what xorg version would i get when i run this enablement stack? i have at the moment xorg 1.15.1 | 22:10 |
| wafflejock | p4trick: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/desktop/ there are also manufacturers that sell laptops with ubuntu preinstalled and offer some level of support | 22:10 |
| p4trick | thank you | 22:11 |
| k1l_ | do123: with all that modifications i doubt a upgrade is a good idea anyway. | 22:11 |
| do123 | k1l_: did you know the answer of my question? what is the xorg version of those enablement stack? | 22:12 |
| neopsyche | jhutchins: thanx | 22:13 |
| k1l_ | do123: 15.04 xorg is 1.17.1 | 22:13 |
| k1l_ | do123: same as the one in the 14.04.3 enablement stack | 22:13 |
| do123 | k1l_: ah, great. 1.17.1 is perfect | 22:14 |
| pero | i seem to have borked the sound on my 14.04 install. how would i go about restoring everything to defaults? | 22:16 |
| wafflejock | pero: with audio issues good to start with alsa to see if thats working first | 22:16 |
| mondo942 | hey guys. just installed ubuntu from windows 7, did a complete format | 22:17 |
| wafflejock | pero: you can get alsa-utils and run the alsamixer to see your soundcard output settings and can use aplay somefile.wav, to test it out | 22:17 |
| pero | wafflejock, stuff works, kinda - it's hard to describe really. bunch of intermittent issues that manifest differently in different software | 22:17 |
| wafflejock | pero: above alsa by default you'll have pulseaudio, did you install Jack or anything like that? | 22:17 |
| pero | wafflejock, no nothing extra | 22:17 |
| wafflejock | pero: hmm okay, yeah would test with aplay first to be sure the alsa stuff is okay, if that seems to play fine then can try reinstalling pulseaudio maybe | 22:18 |
| mondo942 | question: I have an ATI 5xxx series card... it says I'm running 0.4 gallium on juniper drivers. How do I completely unisntall all video drivers and install proprietary ATI? I seem to be missing dependencies | 22:18 |
| pero | wafflejock, like i get staticy output in vlc until i minimize/maximize; staticy output in flash for a minute; no sound in some games; no sound in other games and then sound will start working later out of nowhere | 22:19 |
| wileee | mondo942, Is this a wubi install? | 22:19 |
| wafflejock | pero: strange... that sounds like bugs in the driver for your hardware | 22:19 |
| wafflejock | or hardware problems maybe | 22:19 |
| pero | wafflejock, i wanted to reinstall pulse but it wants to remove unity | 22:19 |
| mondo942 | what's wubi? | 22:19 |
| pero | wafflejock, na it worked for almost a year until i did something =/ | 22:19 |
| k1l_ | mondo942: see system settings and go to the last tab in "updates and software". then choose the fglrx | 22:19 |
| === Shrooms` is now known as Shrooms | ||
| mondo942 | I installed ubuntu 14.04 LTS from a flash drive and installed to internal drive | 22:20 |
| wileee | mondo942, Your description was rather strange is all, just checking. | 22:20 |
| wafflejock | pero: could be a regression in a kernel upgrade or something I guess, maybe could try with an older kernel, can you find your device in lspci | 22:20 |
| pero | wafflejock, no i did something - but it was a while ago and i don't really remember. | 22:21 |
| mondo942 | k1l_ the additional drivers tab? Ah I see there's a few options... so I can change what drivers I use? | 22:21 |
| k1l_ | mondo942: yes. | 22:22 |
| mondo942 | do I want fglrx or fglrx-updates? What's the difference? (I'm assuming there's updates or it auto updates or something?) | 22:22 |
| k1l_ | mondo942: but be aware that ati/amd drop older cards from time to time. | 22:22 |
| k1l_ | mondo942: no real difference | 22:22 |
| mondo942 | Yeah my card is certainly old... 5770HD I believe, due for an upgrade at some point in the near future. my CSGO has dropped from ~~120stable fps to around 60 dropping to 20-30... | 22:23 |
| wafflejock | pero: looks like the accepted solution here was just to let it do the uninstall of ubuntu-desktop then re-install those packages http://askubuntu.com/questions/475450/audio-suddenly-stopped-pulseaudio-reinstall-has-not-helped-14-04, you could also try to just sudo apt-get install pulseaudio --reinstall | 22:23 |
| mondo942 | wil switch drivers restart and see what's happening | 22:23 |
| wafflejock | pero: this is just accepted solution for reinstalling pulseaudio not sure it will fix your issue though | 22:23 |
| wafflejock | pero: aplay should work regardless of pulseaudio though | 22:24 |
| pero | wafflejock, what's aplay? | 22:24 |
| wafflejock | pero: that's why it's good to test with that first so you can be sure it's not something beyond pulse | 22:24 |
| wafflejock | pero: just command line tool to play a file with ALSA | 22:24 |
| wafflejock | pero: so using the part of the audio stack below the pulseaudio or jack stuff | 22:24 |
| pero | wafflejock, is there a sample wav that coems with it? | 22:25 |
| wafflejock | pero: think I've used the ones in /usr/share/sounds | 22:25 |
| pero | wafflejock, yea it works fine | 22:26 |
| pero | wafflejock, alright, i'm going to try that solution you gave - wish me luck | 22:27 |
| pero | wafflejock, thx | 22:27 |
| wafflejock | pero: okay in that case I guess u probably do want to go with the post above and just reinstall all that, if you want to you can try manually blowing away the /etc/pulseaudio files and just doing the reinstall, but indeed good luck | 22:27 |
| ircmaxell | I'm running into an issue where kswapd0 is using 100% of a core, but there's no swap actually used (via top or free)... Not sure where to start digging | 22:28 |
| neofreak | Is there a IRC help channel that anyone can point me to please? Thank you | 22:29 |
| OerHeks | neofreak, for ubuntu? | 22:29 |
| neofreak | IRC on ubuntu yes | 22:29 |
| OerHeks | Then you are in the right channel, this is ubuntu support | 22:30 |
| neofreak | My Q'n Deals with Ubuntu / IRC/ TOR | 22:30 |
| neofreak | Mainly Connecting to a IRC server over the TOR network | 22:30 |
| OerHeks | neofreak, oke, here is a howto https://freenode.net/sasl/ | 22:31 |
| OerHeks | !tor | 22:31 |
| ubottu | Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity. It is in Ubuntu's repositories, but the Tor Project recommends using their Tor packages due to past issues with Ubuntu's. For setup info, see option (2) of https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en | To use Tor on freenode, see !tor-sasl | 22:31 |
| zykotick9 | neofreak: if you're trying to connect to freenode with TOR, I'd suggest asking in #freenode... | 22:31 |
| Bashing-om | neofreak: Best I recall freenode has diabled TOR. maight get better advise in #freenode channel . | 22:32 |
| neofreak | Thank you Oerheks & Bashing-om | 22:32 |
| OerHeks | unlike those *fbx.proxad.net guys that configured it wrong | 22:32 |
| pero | wafflejock, i am alive | 22:34 |
| pero | wafflejock, no sound in csgo on startup so i don't think that fixed it (sound in csgo normally comes back randomly later) | 22:35 |
| ac3takwas_ | hey guys | 22:36 |
| ac3takwas_ | Uhm, I need to solve a problem with my Ubuntu | 22:36 |
| ac3takwas_ | Data gets wiped off pretty fast | 22:37 |
| ac3takwas_ | How do I go around this? I mean managing internet bandwidth | 22:37 |
| ac3takwas_ | Is there a tool I could use to get some apps restricted from internet usage? | 22:38 |
| ac3takwas_ | Is anyone here with such know-how? | 22:38 |
| wafflejock | pero: yeah not sure would do lspci -k and check out your device id for your audio hardware and see if google comes back with any bug reports or anything related | 22:39 |
| wafflejock | pero: the -k part will show kernel modules loaded for a device too | 22:39 |
| pero | wafflejock, it's intel so there's a million hits | 22:41 |
| checkit | Hey guys... I threw up a quick vagrant box for a project but I need to switch to an older version of php to get it running. Any thoughts for me? | 22:41 |
| wafflejock | pero: what's the device id? that's the most specific thing you'll find results for typically | 22:41 |
| pero | wafflejock, Audio device: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT HD Audio Controller (rev 09) | 22:42 |
| wafflejock | ac3takwas this is probably helpful http://askubuntu.com/questions/776/how-i-can-limit-download-upload-bandwidth | 22:44 |
| frank_ | irc.irc-hispano.org | 22:44 |
| wafflejock | pero: are you dual booting | 22:45 |
| pero | wafflejock, not with windows - i have a fedora install | 22:45 |
| rredd4 | can't connect to my wifi. wifi works with phone and another computer. this iwconfig: wlan0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Managem | 22:45 |
| ac3takwas_ | wafflejock, thanks | 22:45 |
| pero | wafflejock, i actually managed to bork the sound there as well - in an unrelated way : | 22:46 |
| pero | i impress myself sometimes | 22:46 |
| wafflejock | pero: haha yeah you got me beat :) this guide might help though a bit dated being for 12.04 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure | 22:48 |
| wafflejock | pero: I mean it seems as though if aplay works correctly, would give that a few more goes to make sure it works consistently then it's gotta be a problem in pulse or above but not sure where it's breaking down | 22:49 |
| wafflejock | or why a purge and reinstall of that wouldn't fix it | 22:50 |
| pero | wafflejock, yea i actually did run aplay a bunch of times - worked fine | 22:51 |
| === dearn_ is now known as dearn | ||
| pero | wafflejock, thanks for your time | 23:00 |
| wafflejock | pero: no problem, good luck, if you didn't notice I've struggled with some audio things myself as well :) hope you can get it solved | 23:00 |
| pero | wafflejock, i'll prob end up blowing both installs | 23:01 |
| pero | wafflejock, it's just bad timing i thing with the next lts less than a year away | 23:01 |
| wafflejock | pero: yeah I hear that, from what I've seen in 15.04 though it seems like the user facing changes are pretty minimal so I don't feel so bad being "stuck" on 14.04, I would take a backup and try to do an in place install over the existing install I don't think that will wipe out your home folder, someone here can probably confirm/deny that though | 23:03 |
| wafflejock | personally using Ubuntu Gnome and only real feature upgrade I want in gnome is the change in the notifications but don't think that made the latest release from them anyhow yet | 23:05 |
| bennypr0fane | How can I find my local IP on my network if I can't access the router? | 23:07 |
| wafflejock | bennypr0fane: ifconfig | 23:07 |
| wafflejock | bennypr0fane: you should see inet addr followed by the IP | 23:07 |
| bennypr0fane | wafflejock, got it, thanks! | 23:08 |
| pero | wafflejock, i prefer gnome myself - which is the reason for the fedora install, but they just move too fast. i don't want to blow up my system every 9 months or whatever | 23:09 |
| pero | and the support in their irc after using fedup basically consists of downgrade or reinstall | 23:10 |
| NGC3982 | Is there any good CLI monitoring program, for hardware temperatures that works like top? | 23:18 |
| NGC3982 | sensor-detect gives me the correct data, but i would like something automatic to put in a screen. | 23:18 |

| RJ45 | hi, running 14.04 here, I want to use ffmpeg, the Ubuntu repo has it as a transitional package, upon installation there is no ffmpeg command, what gives? I want my ffmpeg | 23:34 |
| k1l_ | RJ45: at that time ubuntu (and debian) only had avconv | 23:35 |
| RJ45 | k1l_: at risk of sounding childish, that is pretty stupid | 23:36 |
| k1l_ | so either use that (similar commands) or get a PPA to install it. | 23:36 |
| k1l_ | RJ45: childish? you now ffmpeg split into 2 forks: ffmpeg and avconv? | 23:36 |
| RJ45 | the ffmpeg package should install ffmpeg, whoever decided to make ffmpeg not install ffmpeg was an idiot, if I want to install ffmpeg why the heck would I not want it to be installed when I install the package?... | 23:39 |
| RJ45 | wait, that entered wrong | 23:39 |
| RJ45 | ffmpeg package should install ffmpeg, whoever decided to make ffmpeg not install ffmpeg was an idiot, if I want to install ffmpeg why the heck would I not want it to be installed when I install the package?... | 23:40 |
| k1l_ | RJ45: debian and ubuntu decided to go the libav (avconv) path. so they made the transitional package not to break all programs. please really read into libav. its half of the old ffmpeg team and uses nearly the same commands | 23:40 |
| OerHeks | There were serious security issues with FFmpeg at that time, 14.04 | 23:41 |
| RJ45 | k1l_: this only BREAKS programs, such as WinFF, now WinFF is pointed to a directory for ffmpeg that does not exist | 23:43 |
| RJ45 | (/usr/bin/ffmpeg ) | 23:44 |
| OerHeks | RJ45, good news, ffmpeg is back in 15.04 | 23:44 |
| RJ45 | well I'm not upgrading today | 23:44 |
| k1l_ | winff works with avconv | 23:44 |
| RJ45 | any way to get winff to work with anconv? | 23:44 |
| serendependy | RJ45, https://code.google.com/p/winff/wiki/UsingAvconv | 23:44 |
| serendependy | ? | 23:44 |
| Penguinguy | Hey, question: I have a Canon MB 2320. It has the option to connect to the computer over usb, and when it is connected over usb it will allow you to 'scan to pc'. When I do this, it scans like normal, I was wondering if ubuntu was even doing anything with the file.... | 23:44 |
| RJ45 | serendependy: thank you, this whole situation shouldn't even be a thing.. | 23:45 |
| RJ45 | bye | 23:45 |
| RJ45 | winff now says it cannot find anconv | 23:46 |
| RJ45 | this is stupid | 23:46 |
| RJ45 | I give up | 23:47 |
| serendependy | :( | 23:47 |
| k1l_ | well, he needs to find another program to rant about then. | 23:48 |
| k1l_ | for 14.04 you need to make sure libavcodec-extra-54 is installed | 23:49 |
